Blues Camp
Grand River Blues Camp 2020 Cancelled.
To all of our wonderful students, teachers, volunteers, sponsors, parents and friends, it was sad to hear that Kitchener Blues Festival 2020 was cancelled. While this was not surprising, given the current unprecedented situation we live in, it is still with heavy hearts that we must cancel Grand River Blues Camp 2020, as well.
For many students, teachers and fans, this is one of the highlights of their musical year. We hope that music continues to sustain and inspire you during this time.
A big thank you to all who were already planning for and looking forward to this summer's camp. We hope to see you all in 2021!
Take care and good health to you and yours until then,
Your Grand River Blues Camp Administration
Keep you calendar free for next Grand River Blues Camp!
