Sue Foley: This highly touted vocalist/guitarist originally hails from Ottawa, Canada, although her home base shifted to Austin, TX, when she signed with Antone’s Records and cut her debut set, Young Girl Blues, in 1992 (an encore, Without a Warning, quickly followed). Foley’s wicked lead guitar makes her a rarity among blueswomen.
Roxanne Potvin: Begin where all North American music starts – the Blues. Give it to an ingénue who shakes it up by adding a little rock’n’roll, country, folk and jazz. Result: Something new, something old and – more importantly, something fresh, unique and inspired. That’s the story you can apply to crossover artist Roxanne Potvin, the 23-year-old bilingual Gatineau, Quebec based singer, guitarist, and songwriter.
