Singer, songwriter, bassist, and guitarist Suzie Vinnick is the recipient of ten Maple Blues Awards and has been internationally recognized for her songwriting. Her music has been featured in television shows, films, and commercials, most notably as the voice of Tim Horton’s commercials! (Betcha didn't know that!) Growing up in Saskatoon, Vinnick began playing guitar at a young age. In high school, she played the tenor saxophone in concert band and bass guitar in jazz band. By the time she was eighteen years old, Vinnick was running local blues sessions in high school. She moved to Ottawa in the summer of 1991 to perform as bassist with Tony D. and his Cool Band. Though she had planned to return home after the summer, she stayed in Ottawa where she quickly became a mainstay in the city’s blues scene. After two years with Tony D., Vinnick left to concentrate on original material. Her first album, Angel in the Sidelines, was released in 1994 and expanded her blues style to include more folk and roots elements. In support of the album, Vinnick toured North American clubs and festivals including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Folk Festival, the Toronto Harbourfront Festival and of course multiple appearances here at Harvest over our first 34 years.
This year she'll be a clinician at local schools as part of our 23rd annual Blues in the Schools program but you can catch Suzie's incredible show Saturday afternoon at our Wilmot Church Acoustic stage.
