“UKRAINIAN HUMANITARIAN CRISIS APPEAL”
 
The Sault Blues Society and the Rock Star Bar are pleased to announce that last night’s Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis appeal was a great success. We collected just over $4,500.00 in total donations which will go directly to the Red Cross for the Humanitarian Crisis in the Ukraine.
The Sault Blues Society and the Rock Star bar paid all costs associated with this event including the musicians, production and printing costs.
Local musicians from Blues Shop – Mike Yurich, Mike McDonald, Steve Francis and Chris Johns played the evening backing up special guests Al Davis, Pete Cooper, Stuart Bolduc, Shirley Kominos, Paul DellaVedova and Ray Gassi joining in for a few songs each. It was a great jam session enjoyed by about 100 happy Blues fans in attendance.
Many thanks to all those that donated either at the door in person or via the Red Cross portal on line with a credit card which will continue to accept donations until the end of April. All donations of $20.00 or more will receive an official income tax receipt with proper mailing address and postal code. 

                                       SAULT BLUES SOCIETY NEWS RELEASE
        WEDNESDAY NIGHT BLUES CANCELED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
                                                       October 4th 2021 12:00
 
Unfortunately, the Sault Blues Society will no longer be booking or promoting Wednesday Night Blues at the Canuck. The Canuck and all the currently booked acts have been informed about the Society removing its support.

The Sault Blues Society regrets having to cancel the Societies participation in any of the upcoming booked Wednesday night shows as the health and safety of the musicians and our blues music lovers is always most important to us.

We will update you with any new developments as they emerge and we can again share our love of the Blues in a safe manner, hopefully soon.
 
Sincerely, The Sault Blues Society Executive.
