Uncle Wiggly's Hot Shoes Blues Band January 1, 2015

With a career that began humbly at the University of Victoria’s Sub Pub, this band led the live music, independent recording and producing scene in Victoria BC in the 80’s. They become RCA Recording Artists, received rave reviews of live performances along the way and shared stages with Muddy Waters, Joe Cocker, James Cotton, Koko Taylor and Paul Butterfield to name a few, leaving an indelible legacy of 21 recorded tracks that still stand the test of time.
They released a new CD last year called “Still Burnin it Up” and had a successful Western Tour to Alberta and BC, as well they played two hot sets on the mainstage at the Islands Folkfest this past summer as well as blowing folks away at the Vancouver Island Blues Bash on the Labour Day weekend. To top it all off they won the right to represent BC at the International Blues Challenge in White Rock in July 2014 and they now travel to Memphis on January 2015 to compete. (Quoted from their website) Join them Saturday January 10th at the Upper Deck Sports Lounge for a big send off.
