Acoustic Blues Series: Rita Chiarelli

Over the past decade Rita Chiarelli has won every major Canadian blues award, including multiple Maple Blues awards, CBC’s Great Canadian Blues Award and a Manitoba Blues Society Achievement Award. Chiarelli is undeniably a gifted songwriter and entertaining performer, but it is her towering three octave voice that sets her apart from her peers and often inspires tears in those who sit in awe and watch her weave her magic on stage.
