This unique duo recently released their new album, Bare Knuckles & Brawn. Recorded at Afterlife Studios in Vancouver, BC, and produced by the band and Erik Nielsen, the 11 all-original tracks showcase the talents of A.W. Cardinal (vocals and guitar) and Jasmine Colette (bass/vocals), along with guests Darcy Phillips (piano/organ); Gerry Cook (sax/clarinet); Jimmy “Hollywood” Badger (drums); Jack Garton (trumpet); and Paul Pigat (guitar).

“The album is a fine example of what we sound like with a larger ensemble says Cardinal. The sound is a mixture of swing styles of music like blues and jazz, western swing and New Orleans. Think Django Reinhardt/Charlie Christian meets Tom Waits. “I like all the grit and pulp with my music, so the warm sound of the tape made it come together adds Colette.

Blue Moon Marquee currently makes their home in an island shack on the coast of the Salish Sea in BC, Canada. A.W. Cardinal and Jasmine Colette (a.k.a. “Badlands Jass”) write and perform original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps or grooves. Influenced by early blues, swing, jazz and ragtime, artists such as Louis Armstrong, Howlin' Wolf, Tom Waits, Memphis Minnie, and Django Reinhardt are deeply infused in the soul of their music.

On live performances, the Blue Moon Marquee duo plays with the energy and sound of a full band. Colette, the rhythm section, not only commands the upright bass but also brings the swing with her feet on the kick drum, snare and high hat, all while singing harmonies. Cardinal is of the screaming and hollering blues tradition, with distinctive thick and smoky vocals that barrel out like a raging bull. His guitar crackles with the swinging energy of jazz-tinged blues.

Appreciated for their authenticity, Blue Moon Marquee's passionate performances and smouldering onstage chemistry is something that enthrals audiences from back-room bars, to
festival stages, to velvet-seated theatres.
