With the sudden loss of the Golden Pheasant in St, Catherines, the Niagara region lost a wonderful Saturday matinee hosted by the amazing Mighty Duck Blues Band.

Thankfully, the matinee returned in September and the band is back in action at the Bar Upstairs.  They be rockin' the joint with a nunber of very special guests.

Here are a few videos from some upcoming guests.

Remembering Kris St. Louis

Kris St. Louis was a local energetic, talented singer, songwriter and guitarist . In 1995, she released her first and only CD, Boss of Love. The disc featured amazing work from her as well as James Anthony and Carlos Del Junco.

In 1997, Kris also came out with the excellent cassette, 7 Days - Songs of Faith.

Unfortunately, she passed away in the late 1990's, leaving behind a short but wonderful legacy.
