Ease into your week with two shows of Blues music, showcasing a range of artists. The Toronto Blues Society (TBS) is a non-profit charity committed to promoting and preserving the right legacy of the blues. As we celebrate 40 years of championing this vibrant genre, we continue to honor its roots while inspiring future generations

When Diana Braithwaite sings, you hear passion, with sultry stories of life beautifully expressed through music. Born in Toronto, Braithwaite is a descendant of the Wellington County pioneers in Canada. With roots in the southern United States her ancestors escaped slavery through the Underground Railroad and lived for four generations in Wellington County, the first African-Canadian pioneer settlement in Ontario. Dubbed “a national treasure” by BLUZ-FM’s Radio host Danny Marks, Diana Braithwaite combines elements from Dinah Washington, Koko Taylor, Esther Phillips and others to create her own unique appealing and expressive blues style.

Entertaining audiences around the world, leave the daily grind behind when you experience Diana Braithwaite & Chris Whiteleys infectious, feel good, live up tempo blues show with band.
