Diana Braithwaite has performed at Massey Hall as part of the Women’s Blues Review this past November, at the huge Beaches Jazz Festival this past summer, and at the Molson Amphitheatre in 1999 where she opened Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair before 18,000 people.
She has toured throughout Canada, the U.S., Africa, Europe, and most recently the U.K where earlier this month she conducted a week-long blues workshop followed by a concert in Birmingham.
But there’s one very conspicuous place she hasn’t performed at – home! Here in Scarborough where she was born and raised along with five siblings, and where her mother has lived in the same house for more than 60 years (her father passed away last year).
That’s about to change this Saturday, March 17, as the acclaimed singer, who has shared the stage with the likes of Albert Collins, Robert Cray, Tracy Chapman, John Lee Hooker, Jeff Healey and Buddy Guy, will bring some old time blues to Acoustic Harvest’s monthly concert presentation.
