The 8-piece all-woman band has become an established group in its own right, performing in concert venues other than Massey Hall, backing vocalists from across Canada.
Our “revue” style shows embrace cultures and styles, framed by a rhythm and blues backdrop. We have performed and recorded with a diverse array of notable Canadian female artists including Ellen McIlwaine, Ndidi Onukwulu, Serena Ryder, Molly Johnson, Rita Chiarelli, Salome Bey, Jackie Richardson, Shakura S’Aida, Lori Yates, Lorraine Segato, Suzie McNeil, Carole Pope, Lee Aaron and Jane Bunnett. We have also backed up Tom Wilson (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), Paul Shaffer (David Letterman Band), Haydain Neale (Jacksoul) and Divine Brown.
The 2008 concert featured Suzie Vinnick, Shoshona Kish (Digging Roots), Little Miss Higgins, Lily Frost, Elizabeth Shepherd, and Alana Bridgewater.
All the members of the Toronto Women’s Blues Revue Band are recording artists and have impressive music careers individually.
