Spring is in the air! Okay, maybe we’re<br />
still buried in snow and icy winds still<br />
blow, but the end is definitely in sight.<br />
It will get lighter, and milder. It will.<br />
In the meantime, we have music to warm us.<br />
Jeff Healey called him “the finest blues<br />
guitarist in Canada.” Bob Dylan said he’d be<br />
famous if he hailed from Chicago. They were<br />
talking about Jack de Keyzer. London Music<br />
Club has the Jack de Keyzer Duo on Thursday,<br />
<strong>March</strong> 21 (7:30 pm/8:30 pm). The man has two<br />
Junos, seven Maple Blues Awards and a 2018<br />
album, CheckMate, to showcase. De Keyzer<br />
needs to be heard, you need to hear him.<br />

Riveters to the Cuckoo’s Nest Folk Club,<br />

(7:30 pm). The trio’s 2018 album, Ms. Behave,<br />
rode the U.S. Top Ten folk music charts for<br />
17 weeks. Billboard called it “powerful and<br />
daring.” It’s music for the #MeToo era — “a<br />
collection of gritty, sultry, vintage-inspired<br />
folk anthems that paint a portrait of a<br />
woman’s voice in a man’s world.”<br />
