This show features the 7 piece Uncle Wigglys Hot Shoes Blues Band from Victoria BC. These former RCA Recording Artists and members of the Victoria Music Hall of Fame toured extensively in the 80s, opening for such legends as Muddy Waters, Joe Cocker, James Cotton, Koko Taylor and Paul Butterfield. So take a turn on off the Traditional path and enjoy a glimpse into the heart and soul of Christmas from a Blues point of view.
Uncle Wiggly is known for his powerful voice and whether he is performing with gut-wrenching drive or gently caressing a moment of musical tenderness, youll feel the magic of the holiday blues right down to your toes. Guitarist Mark Westcoast Comerfords authentic blues style captures the feeling and essence of all these great songs. Along with Andy Graffiti - Drums, Lightnin Lonnie Glass - Bass, Steve Ranta - Keys, Wayne Kozak - Sax, and Bryn Badel - Trumpet this show is the blues in every way shape and form.
This show is a collection of traditional Blues Christmas tunes from the 20s, 30s, 40s 50s, and 60s, by the likes of Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, BB King, Eric Clapton, Charles Brown, Etta James and more. Its not the standard collection of carols, rather its a tribute that gives you a look into the souls of the fabulous music legends sharing their Christmas Blues. A refreshing take on a holiday concert, it has played to sold-out houses and received rave reviews across British Columbia for the past 4 years.
This show played to sold out houses and standing ovations in BC and Alberta last winter and has had rave reviews here on the Island and lower mainland.
This is not the usual Christmas Show of standard Christmas carols you know but a tribute that gives you a look into the souls of these fabulous Blues Legends by sharing the Christmas Blues songs written by them. You will find it a very refreshing take on a Christmas Music Show.
This is the eighth year that Uncle Wigglys will been doing this Christmas Show. This Tribute offers a glimpse into the heart and soul of Christmas from the Blues vantage point.
