Blues Double Bill

Angelica Jones (formerly Angelique Hunter Band) + Joel Dupuis Blues Band

Angelica Jones This powerhouse band delivers the raw, electrifying sound fans know and love, now with a fresh identity. From gritty guitar riffs to soulful vocals, Angelica Jones is here to redefine blues for a new generation, all while staying true to the heart of their music.

The band, composed of three lifelong friends and mainstays of the Canadian music scene, has grown and cultivated their sound around the personality and stylings of Angelica on vocals and guitar. When she plugs in her Stratocaster, expect a wide range of style, emotion, and power. She can lull you in with sweet melodies and sear you with razor sharp blues attitude and screaming guitar lines.

Angelica Jones has the power to shrink a venue or blow it up with her voice alone. Totally unique, when she begins to sing, she sounds like no one else. She can tell a sweet story with her voice or bewitch you with its intensity. It’s a powerful instrument on its own. The Trio is rounded out by Sandy Hunter on drums and Adam Bell on bass.

The band is on an upward trajectory since their nomination for Best New Group at the 2024 Maple Blues Awards where Angelica was one of the few selected featured artists performing at the gala. The band has been performing at many festivals including the Kitchener Blues Festival, the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival, the Kemptville Live Music Festival as well as many performances at the Ottawa Bluesfest and more.

The eclectic but powerful blues based trio is a real melting pot of influences and many years of perfecting musical and stage craft have seen them win over audiences with their contemporary take on the blues throughout Canada.

Last Nov 2025, Angelica performed at the 38th Annual Women’s Blues Revue at Roy Thomson Hall.
