Suzie Vinnick at the Empress

A one-woman blues powerhouse, Suzie Vinnick takes the stage and owns it, from footlights to rafters. This Saskatoon native has 10 Canadian Maple Blues wins and 22 nominations, along with three Juno nominations. While Vinnick can belt out a blues tune or croon a ballad with equal deftness, her guitar work is also effortlessly commanding. This lady is a force of nature with a six-string guitar.
