About Blue Moon Marquee: "The sound of Blue Moon Marquee is delicious and sacrosanct cross-border blues" - Philip Verhaege, Keys & Chords, Belgium

“To say A.W. and Jasmine are old souls is an understatement to say the least! They are poised for worldwide recognition in an amazing genre-bending ride through American blues and folk.” – Duke Robillard

Blue Moon Marquee is a swingin’ blues duo/band currently living on the coast of the Salish Sea. They're touring in support of their Juno Award-winning album Scream, Holler & Howl.

Blue Moon Marquee perform their original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps or grooves. A.W. Cardinal, a Metis of Cree heritage (vocals, guitar) and Jasmine Colette, a.k.a. Badlands Jass, (vocals, bass, drums) have played everywhere from jazz clubs to prisons.

Carving a path through blues, jazz, jump jive, folk, country, swing, and all with Indigenous soul, their sound does not idle easily in one certain category. It stomps and struts through the wilds, conjuring a blend where Howlin’ Wolf tangos with Django, Ernest Tubb shoots firecrackers with Cab Calloway, and Memphis Minnie throws dice with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.
