Bebe Buckskin: Album Release with Ellen McIlwaine and guests

Bebe BuckSkin celebrates the launch of “Asiskiy,” her sophomore EP, with blues guitar legend Ellen Mcillwaine and J.J. Heyblom at the King Eddy.

About Bebe Buckskin:
Born and raised an “Indigenous Cowgirl” in the great muskeg of Northern Alberta, Bebe Buckskin; a Cree/Metis artist, is the embodiment of Northern grit and soul. Classic blues – rock, swamp – soul is the term that best describes the anchor of her music, with infusions that skim upon outlaw country, folk and R&B. This ex-rodeo queen swamp woman is unafraid to bare her raw intensity on stage, making for a riveting and authentic performance. Velvety robust vocals paired with a soulfully dynamic band, floats the listener away on a journey through soundscapes of nostalgic inspirations. Deep dense decadence for the senses

About Ellen McIlwaine:
Born in Nashville, living in Japan from the age of two as part of an International Community, this slide guitar legend grew up listening to a combination of New Orleans R & B, European Classical, Grand Ole Opry, Japanese Shamisen, Indian Citar, and much more of what is now called “World Music”.

Her high energy Rhythm & Blues, along with Middle Eastern laments, Indian, Pakistani & West African influences and a capella Gospel numbers all drive her amazing Slide Guitar and Vocal Acrobatics to make for a dynamic show.

About J.J. Heyblom:
J.J. Heyblom (Jesse John Heyblom) is a dynamic and expressive musician who currently resides in Airdrie, Alberta.
