Big Dave McLean is a living blues legend. The Member of the Order of Canada has been spreading the good news about the blues since he broke on the scene in Winnipeg in the early 70s. Since then Big Dave has played every blues club in the land and has at least influenced two generations of Canadian blues musicians along the way. Dave is back to play his yearly gig at the Bassment – this time for two nights and this time he’s backed up by the Northern Muddy Tones – Doug Scarrow (guitar), Don Griffith (piano/organ), George Tennant (bass), and Laurie Currie (drums).
