West Coast Blues Inc committee has recently made the difficult decision to no longer run a Blues Festival. 2024 Downtown Shuffle was our last and final Labour Day weekend festival.
We had a good run, 19 years in total beginning 2006.
We want to thank our dedicated volunteers, the many great musicians who graced our stage, our sponsors and ticket buyers who faithfully supported our annual Blues festival.
Special thanks to Bud Mabon, Chris Murphy and the Goderich Kinsmen club, who were all very instrumental in the early development of this festival.
A huge thank you, to our current committee members, Kim and Travis Teed, Stephanie Greenfield and Paul J McInnis and my wife Connie. Special thanks to our former committee members, mayor Myles Murdock, Don Hubick, Bill Hoy and Bill Gibbons. Your ongoing friendship and support has been the backbone of our success.
John Harrison
President, West Coast Blues Inc
