Nickelodeon Music Club Presents Suzie Vinnick with opener Ollee Owens

The Nick will be closing off our 2024/25 season with Suzie Vinnick, a Canadian blues legend who is equally at ease in the folk and roots worlds, not to mention gospel and rockabilly. A Saskatoon native transplanted to the Niagara Region of Ontario, Suzie is the proud owner of a gorgeous voice, prodigious guitar and bass chops, and an engagingly candid performance style. Her career has seen triumph after triumph. She’s has won 12 Maple Blues Awards (she has been nominated for 21 so far!), won the 2011 Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Vocalist of the Year and is a three-time Juno nominee. Suzie achieved finalist status in the Solo/Duo Category at the 2013 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN; received the 2012 CBC Saturday Night Blues Great Canadian Blues Award and the 2012 Sirius XM Canada Blues Artist of the Year. Suzie has toured nationally with Downchild, Stuart McLean’s The Vinyl Café and the John McDermott Band, and performed for Canadian Peacekeepers in Bosnia and the Persian Gulf.

Calgary-based Ollee Owens has been described as a musical force of nature: she has a lyrical mastery that speaks on all of life’s moments, and a dynamic voice that reveals a well-travelled soul. Ollee combines burning intensity with elegant grace and skilled composure, wrapped in an electrifying blues-rock veneer. Her performance is an emotionally charged musical experience that creates a lasting connection. Ollee has played stages across Alberta and has performed with the likes of Hello Darlins, Matt Anderson and Dawn Tyler Watson. In October 2024, she released Nowhere to Hide, recorded in Nashville with help from a who’s who of acclaimed Nashville session musicians, including Muscle Shoals all-star guitarist Will McFarlane. The album teems with stylish, sophisticated jewels mined from blues, rock, and soul.
