In the early 1990s the "Blues Merchants" started out as a house band for a blues night at a local Sydney N.S. bar -- Two decades later the gigs and their audience have grown steadily. The five piece band continues to evolve while staying true to their hard working East Coast/ Cape Breton roots with the release of their second CD of original songs titled "Davis Street". The Blues Merchants style is a mix of rockin' guitar blues, R & B and well written original songs that have made them one Cape Breton's favorite bands.
