About this event
Po Cholly; Charlie Robertson | www.reverbnation.com/pocholly
Your performer/host, Charlie has been an itinerant bluesman for 50 years,
traveling the globe, hosting concerts and conducting workshops. He is well-known
for his blues harp styles, slide guitar and traditional blues. He has played with the
Gypsy Kings in France, tango bands in Argentina, reggae players in Jamaica, and
flamenco dancers in Spain, where his passion for the blues has always erased
national and political borders and brought strange bedfellows together to share
the music.
Beverlie Robertson | www.reverbnation.com/beverlierobertson
As a member of the trio The Chanteclairs, Beverlie travelled widely and performed
at festivals such as the Mariposa Folk Festival, the Fredericton Jazz & Blues
Festival, and at venues from The Riverboat to Massey Hall, Maple Leaf Gardens
and the CNE Grandstand. She played on the CBC, CTV, BBC, US and European TV
networks. She grew up with the New Orleans and Tin Pan Alley blues played by
the many jazz and blues artists who came to her parents’ home after gigs. Peter
Gzowski called her a pioneer in Canadian music. Her latest book is “With Knowing
Eyes; Canadian Women in Song”.
