Sat, Sep 24th, 8-10pm, Concert – Steve & Viv Ruskin w/Blaine Dunaway – multi-genre trio

They share a love for numerous musical styles and are always discovering more.  They slide comfortably from ballads to blues, celtic to contemporary, rockabilly to reggae and even a dash of Latin and jazz to add a bit more spice.

Though Steve is a piano player at heart, the more portable keyboards have opened up a world of instrumental opportunity that allow choosing the most effective sounds for each song. Even a traditional grand piano if needed~! Steve adds tasteful vocal harmonies and also plays a mean harmonica.

Vivian's musical roots came from generations steeped in the songs of the prairies and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her voice is her favourite instrument but she loves to add guitar and mandolin to the mix.

Blaine Dunaway is a life musician with a degree and a lifetime of professional music experience from playing and running big bands and orchestras, to TV show bands and recording experience, both as a session player, and engineer, and a host of jazz, world music, blues, r and b, folk, country, and pop bands, and string quartets as well.  A violinist extraordinaire, he is also an accomplished Chincello and horn player.  http://www.blainedunaway.com/
