Victoria Blues Society Presents BMW
With special opening guests Jordie Edmonds and Shakey Reay.
BMW (Belzner, McLean & Williams) was formed when three friends and collaborators (Kevin Belzner, cocktail drum kit; Big Dave McLean, guitars, harmonica and vocals; and Tim Williams, guitars, mandolin and vocals) found themselves together for a set at the Edmonton International Blues Festival. The music was so good, and the crowd reaction so positive, they have since been performing as a trio and have one CD (Catfish) to their credit. Delta Blues, smooth West Coast “club blues”, fine originals and more make up the set list, performed with joy and humour.
Big Dave is a member of the Order of Canada, and a multiple JUNO and Maple Blues award winner; Tim is a double winner at the 2014 International Blues Challenge and has been featured as an artist/producer on four JUNO -nominated recordings and has a dozen Maple Blues nominations to his credit. Kevin is a past recipient of Calgary Blues Music Association’s Drummer of the Year award.
