While blues aficionados can indulge in hours of non-stop live music, the MainStage features some of the most celebrated blues musicians and bands, both local and international. Rita Chiarelli is one of many marquee performers.
Rita Chiarelli is Canada’s most highly acclaimed female roots & blues artist. With a JUNO award and 4 subsequent JUNO nominations, she is known across Canada as the “Goddess of the Blues”.
Chiarelli is a gifted songwriter & entertaining performer, but it is her soaring 3 octave voice that sets her apart from her peers, inspires awe & often tears in her audiences, & critics to gush.
