It seems that Canada will be well represented at the upcoming Blue challenge in Memphis.

Quebec is being represented by Claire Thériault and Denis Viel. This DUO has been preparing, under the radar, for the past 6 months.

They are sponsored by a Quebec based Blues association Le Société de blues Le Relatant.

There were 2 benefit shows, one in September and one in December to help make this happen, it is a small but growing society which is also involved with the Arthritis society which Claire is afflicted. Very worthy cause.

Claire plays the Keys in this DUO and has been playing the blues at the jam sessions for the past decade while Denis Viel has developed into an outstanding blues guitarist/vocalist.

Denis has a solo album on the verge of release (Red River) http://www.myspace com/denisviel
