CANADA'S FIRST LADY OF THE BLUES HARP WINS AT THE OIMA!




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Nov. 17/07)

Canada's First Lady of the Blues Harp wins at the OIMA

The award for "BEST BLUES" in the inaugural Ontario Independent Music Awards 2007 was given to Tracy K on Thursday evening at the Phoenix Theatre in Toronto. The full house at the theatre was treated to a performance of the song, "Broken & Blue", which won her the nomination. She was joined onstage by Jamie "Snakeman" Steinhoff on dobro and Danny Johnson on acoustic, both who travelled with Tracy from Thunder Bay for the awards show.

The crowd's enthusiasm for Tracy K culminated with the producer asking her to do one more tune before leaving the stage. She broke into Jimmy Rogers' "Walkin' by Myself", taking the lead reins once again with harmonica, a major crowd-pleasing element of her performance. The next night, the trio gave a two-set show at Toronto's Cadillac Lounge, once again to a full house.

It has been a banner year for the transplanted Manitoban, now based out of Thunder Bay, Ontario, following the release of her CD, Old, New, Borrowed & Blues.
