Canada South Blues Society,
established in 2000, is a not for profit Ontario
corporation with over 900 members from Southern Ontario.
We host a number of events throughout the year to raise
funds for causes in our communities such as the 5th
annual Boogie Woogie, the 6th annual Cupid's Wintertime Blues for the Essex Kent Building
Trades Injured Workers Foundation, The Blues &
Greens Golf Tournament for the Heart of the City
Foundation, Humane Society and many more. We use our sound production funds to present our "Blues in the Schools" program which is sanctioned
by The Blues Foundation in Memphis. At our "Blues in the Schools" program, thousands of local
students learn history, geography and social awareness
through the arts and evolution of today's music.
Our Services:
The Ontario Trillium Foundation awarded the Canada South
Blues Society a grant to purchase a state of the art
audio and lighting system. Our committed mandate to
Trillium for this grant is: 1. T o
reduce the cost and improve the quality of the
production of local events as well as our own Canada
South Blues Society shows.
2. To provide superior production services to other events
at reduced costs.
3. To have our senior technical staff mentor and train
junior volunteer staff towards a career in the industry.
We can provide indoor/outdoor services for audiences
from 200 to 15,000 people. Our system consists of
industry-leading names such as Midas, Yamaha, JBL,
Adamson, QSC and Crest. Our senior staff has
collectively over 50 years of production experience
producing shows for artists such as Edgar Winter,
Blues Traveler, Eric Burdon, Buddy Guy, Colin James,
Jeff Healey and guarantee the clearest sound and
lighting quality possible.
Shows that have used the Canada
South Blues Society Production:

2006, St. Jean Baptiste Festival (Place Concorde),
Labour Day, Bluesfest, Fox Glen Golf Course, Centennial
Hall (London), Little Folks Festival (Harrow),

What's in it for you?

Trillium Foundation Grant, and supplement our staff with
well trained and supervised volunteer staff, we are in a
position to provide your event with the highest quality
production, usually at a savings of 15-20% or more of
your current production costs.
