TIM HORTONS SOUTHSIDE SHUFFLE - Port Credit's Blues & Jazz Festival

10 Years of Talkin' Blues
Talkin' Blues officially began a decade ago at the Southside Shuffle, with thanks to Chuck Jackson and a who's who of Canadian and international artists who would prove instrumental to transforming Mako Funasaka's original show idea into a reality. Some 300 interviews, countless performances and 52 network television episodes later, the Shuffle has asked Mako to share some of his award-winning productions, his favourite video moments and some never-before-seen material for an exclusive run at the ArtTrax Gallery. As part of this event, Electro-Fi records will be releasing the final Mel Brown CD, "Love, Lost and Found" at the gallery and videos featuring Mel Brown will be shown throughout the weekend.
