Jack de Keyzer is a two-time Juno winner (Blues Album of the Year, 2003 and 2010), four-time Juno nominee and seven-time Maple Blues winner and in 2007 won the International Songwriting Competition's  first place  prize for the  song "That's the Only Time".
Jack de Keyzer performs across Canada and internationally (US, Mexico, France, Portugal, Greece)   over 160 shows per year.    He  has performed and/or  recorded alongside such legends as Etta James, Otish Rush, Bo Diddley, Blue Rodeo and John Hammond Jr.  Jack de Keyzer bridges the gap between blues, jazz, roots and rock.  
Jack caused quite a stir when he appeared on our stage three years ago.   But it was just it was just for one set... too short! His technical mastery and jazz-influenced licks, full of rhythmic and harmonic complexity yet always riding on a solid blues groove, left the audience calling for more.    This year he'll be our headliner on the mainstage Friday night.
Jack will be performing with his favourite sidemen; Al Duffy (bass), Rick Donaldson (drums) and David McMorrow (keyboard).

"The finest blues guitarist in Canada"  Jeff Healey
"If Jack de Keyzer was from Chicago, New York or LA, he'd be famous"  Bob Dylan
