Music Runs Through It Blues Series – The Instigators
Show starts @7:30pm
Blues Series: Theresa Malenfant and The Instigators
If there were any artist deserving of the title of ‘Queen of Maritime Blues’, few would argue with giving the crown to Dieppe, NB’s Theresa Malenfant. Theresa has been performing to packed, appreciative audiences for over 30 years, serving up distinctively powerful soul, in the tradition of her heroes Janis Joplin and Etta James.
Her many accolades help to tell the story. In 1994 and 1995, Theresa won the East Coast Music Award for Best Female Artist. Her Little Girl Blue album, featuring songs originally recorded by Janis Joplin, was awarded nominations for Female Artist of the Year at The Maple Blues Awards in 1997 and 1998. This was followed by five years in Europe where her fan base grew to include strong followings in Belgium and Holland. Theresa’s career in the 2000’s has included more awards and nominations, and more well received recordings, including a ‘Best Of’ release and a live album. In 2015 she was awarded Lifetime Achievement at Maple Blues Awards and in 2019 she and Scott Medford won second place at the IBC International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tennessee.
If you like hearing the blues coming from deep inside an artist’s soul, you will be captivated by the force and passion of a Theresa Malenfant performance.

Rik Reese Band
Every highway has its share of bumps, but Rik Reese and his band sure know how to dodge and swerve. Coined by their fans and peers as one of the hardest working bands in Atlantic Canada, Rik Reese Band had had their share of triumphs and tragedies. A highlight in the band's career was in 2011 when they opened for Country Superstar Toby Keith, but tragedy struck just hours later when their bassist; Pete King, was killed in a motorcycle/moose collision returning from the show. Today, a corner stone of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival Main Stage has been engraved as a Pete memorial; the stage of his final performance.
Through perseverance and fan support, the Rik Reese band has come out swinging with a stellar line up of committed and talented musicians. From intimate, acoustic shows to large scale festivals, Rik's a natural performer who connects with his audience and the solid musicianship and passion of the band fills the stage at every performance. As CMT Host Casey Clarke said: "These guys are all about the live show".
