Blue Moon Marquee

Blue Moon Marquee is a swingin’ roots band born of the wild rose foothills of Alberta, Canada. They currently make their home in an island shack on the coast of the Salish Sea in Canada. A.W. Cardinal (vocals/guitar) and Jasmine Colette (vocals/bass/drums) write and perform original compositions.

Carving a path through blues, jazz, jump jive, folk, country, swing and Indigenous soul with an authentic spirit, their sound does not idle easily in one certain category. It stomps and struts through the wilds, conjuring a blend where Howlin Wolf tangos with Django, Earnest Tubb shoots firecrackers with Louis Prima … & Memphis Minnie throws dice with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.

Recent accolades include the 2026 Fan Favourite Award from the Canadian Blues Music Awards, a 2024 JUNO Award (Scream, Holler & Howl), and a 2025 JUNO nomination (New Orleans Sessions) for Blues Album of the Year, as well as a 2024 JUNO nomination for Indigenous Artist of the Year. Scream, Holler & Howl also swept the 2024 Maple Blues Awards with Album of the Year, Acoustic Artist, Songwriter and Entertainer of the Year!
