Mel Brown gets his well deserved unveiling of the 219th Mississippi Trail Marker hosted by The Grand River Blues Society at The Kitchener Blues Festival. Thank You Terry Pender.Right beside the building at 44 Queen St. S that housed Pop the Gator is a Mississippi Blues Trail marker for Mel Brown. The Jazz-soul-funk-blues fusion guitar master is marker number 218 on the Mississippi Blues Trail. The first in Canada. The first outside the US dedicated to a single musician instead of the Mississippi blues generally. About 100 attended the unveiling. #KBF2025 #GrandRiverBluesSociety #TheBlues #mississippibluestrail #bluesmusiclover
​Saturday afternoon, Bruce Hall, president of the Grand River Blues Society, was presented the Kitchener Blues Festival's Mel Brown Award in 2025. This award recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the blues music scene in the region, particularly in the City of Kitchener. Mel Brown had a strong influence on the Kitchener music scene and the festival itself. The award was presented to Hall in recognition of his tireless work with the Grand River Blues Society and his efforts to promote and preserve blues music in the area.
Congratulation Bruce. Well deserved!
