Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Blue Moon Marquee write and perform original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps or grooves. A.W. Cardinal (vocals/guitar) and Jasmine Colette (Jasmine Ohlhauser) a.k.a. Badlands Jass (vocals/bass/drums) have played for a vast gamut of crowds at jazz clubs, lindy hop dance halls, folk venues, blues haunts, hospitals, prisons, markets, motorcycle joints, dive bars and prestigious festival stages.
The result of 9 years of rigorous crisscrossing Europe and North America is a distinct energy & style from this acclaimed duo. Carving a path through blues, jazz, jump jive, folk, Country, swing and Indigenous soul with an authentic spirit, their sound does not idle easily in one certain category. It stomps and struts through the wilds, conjuring a blend where Howlin Wolf tangos with Django, Earnest tubb shoots firecrackers with Louis Prima ... & Memphis Minnie throws dice with Screamin Jay Hawkins.
Their gift is they bring all these elements together without anything sounding out of step. They collect the roots and smoothly braid them with lyrics that often touch on the underbelly of society, woven with elements of Indigenous storytelling and poetic cadence.
"Blue Moon Marquee have their own completely original style. Modern Blues doesn't really get any better than this. This is a tremendous sound by a hugely talented duo"
(American Roots UK)
With their highly anticipated 5th album ‘Scream, Holler, & Howl’ Blue Moon Marquee have captured perhaps their most sophisticated collection of songs yet.
They will be performing new songs from this album as well as old fan favourites from their past three albums.
They will also have the new album available on vinyl.
