Rita Chiarelli – June 3, 2010 - SOLD OUT
Location: The Waterfront Bistro, Pickering, Ontario

Music By The Bay Live celebrated the final show of the first season with a sold out performance by Rita Chiarelli, “The Canadian Goddess of the Blues”.  This multi award winner and 4-time Juno nominee has played the top blues rooms, music festivals and concert halls around the world and it was rare indeed for a Pickering audience to be treated to this level of soul.  Joining Chiarelli on stage was guitarist Papa John King who wowed the crowd with a night of straight ahead and raw blues.

Michael Pickett – May 6, 2010
Location: The Waterfront Bistro, Pickering, Ontario

'One of Canada’s top acoustic blues artists, Michael Pickett, played a night of delta style blues to a full house.  With only his rack harmonica, sweet worn Gibson 12-string and a one-of-a-kind 1931 Duolian, the crowd heard why this multi award winner and 2x Juno nominee has been called a "one man blues machine".  Opening the show was James Brand who performed a set of acoustic roots and blues, honest and true to life's experiences.

Suzie Vinnick – March 11, 2010
Location: The Waterfront Bistro, Pickering, Ontario

'Guitar woman' Suzie Vinnick was also a lady who sang the blues to a full house.  Her powerful yet sensitive voice whispered, cried, soared with joy and blasted you out of your seat - sometimes all in the same song.  The music itself was a unique blend of folk, country and blues. Combined with her amazing guitar chops, Vinnick is just a blue note or two away from turning into a legend.  Jill Jambor performed the opening set.  The intimacy of her live performance best represented her songs -- relating to the ‘the folk’ by displaying easy rapport with the audience between songs.

Loco Zydeco – February 18, 2010 – SOLD OUT
Location: The Waterfront Bistro, Pickering, Ontario

The French Quarter came to Frenchman’s Bay at the First Annual Music By The Bay Live Mardi Gras Party.  Loco Zydeco pumped up a SOLD OUT crowd, getting them moving in their seats, onto the dance floor and joining them on stage to try their hand at the rubboard … and yes, there were beads … plenty of beads!

David Gogo – January 22, 2010 – SOLD OUT
Location: The Waterfront Bistro, Pickering, Ontario

With the first note David Gogo became a powerful force of pure, raw guitar magic.   He snapped and stretched strings into submission, making notes sting and screech, his fingers scaled the frets of his guitar on a mission from the blues.  The audience expressed its appreciation with shouts, whistles and applause and by the end of the night, knew they’d just witnessed a world class guitarist ply his craft.  Opening the show was Jack Walker performing melodic, catchy and utterly compelling songs from his soon to be released CD.

Very special thanks to Deb & Jim Broomer of Legend Music who donated a white Flying V electric guitar.  In addition to the funds raised through ticket sales, CD sales and everyone who gave generously, the proceeds from the Flying V silent auction were raised for Haitian Relief.  MUSIC BY THE BAY LIVE has donated $1100 through World Vision.
