Danny Marks to open All-Canadian Jazz Festival Port Hope

Blues veteran Danny Marks has signed on to open this year’s All-Canadian Jazz Festival Port Hope, playing a free admission concert on Friday September 19. For the last 20 years Marks has been equally well known for his radio work, on CBC’s Basic Black and as host of the TV show Stormy Monday and radio show Bluz.FM.

Festival music director John McGuirk says in a press release the show “will cover the whole range of blues – traditional blues, country blues, western blues, rhythm & blues – from the beginning right up to rock ‘n roll.” The Festival is now in its seventh year, and details of the weekend programme are being finalized. As in past years, the Festival will showcase a wide range of Canadian jazz talent, presenting more than a dozen of the country’s finest ensembles.
