RKM Music Canada is a proud sponsor of the 1st Annual Beaumont Blues Festival in Beaumont, Alberta. The BBF is "dedicated to presenting the best Alberta blues and roots performers in a country fair atmosphere." Join us in supporting Alberta's blues and roots talent in this two-day event that runs from August 30th to August 31st at the Beaumont and District Agricultural Society fairgrounds. Tickets are available at both RKM locations. Entry for children under 12 is FREE!

Featured in this year's Festival is RKM's own, Hip Pocket:

"Like throwing on that faded pair of jeans you just can't seem to get rid of, then finding a carefully folded $20.00 bill in the hip pocket. Comfortable and familiar...with some sweet surprises. And like those jeans, the rhythm comes from a big bottom. A powerful bass guitar and plenty of kick from the drums. Stitched together by a sizzling guitar, sparkling keys, and smoky vocals, this quintet has it all. Like a great blues groove, that's Hip Pocket."

Featuring Kevin McDade (guitar/vocals), Rita McDade (lead vocals/percussion), Ken Argent (bass/vocals), Murray Schneider (keys/harmonica/vocals), and Sean Murray (drums/vocals).
