To all our patrons and musicians:

December 7th 2024


Yes Blues Canners, we are still open!   If you want to see the old place one more time you better get here before the end of the year 'cause we won't be here as of January 1st 2025.   But good news!   If you have wondered what the fate of The Blues Can would be, after months of work, stress, back and forth, up and down, advice to the contrary and dire warnings of everything from the economy to the state of the arts scene and the US election.   The Blues Can has a new home.   The venue formally known as Tipperarys at 2002 16th Ave NW will be our new digs.   We just signed a lease yesterday so we have it in writing.   Bigger and better, we are movin' on up.


Remember, we get zero help from the various levels of government or any arts grant organizations.   We are constantly broke and on the edge so we need help to get this across the finish line.   Despite rumors to the contrary and our status as a "for profit venue" which excludes us from any help from above mentioned entities, we are not rich or actually even able to do this move.   We are counting 100% on our friends, fans and music lovers from all walks of life.   We will be doing a variety of fund raisers.   Whatever we can think of over the next couple months.


To all the people who have asked "What can I do to help", here it is.   Please help.   This is a huge move for us and very financially demanding and risky, so please come for dinner and a drink, watch a show, purchase something from our auction or just donate a few shekels, either from the button which should show up above, or anything else we might come up with.   It would mean the world to us, and yours just might make the difference between us making it and not.   So come on live music lovers, let's show the world that Calgary has a first rate music scene.  

Hours:  
Monday- 4:00 pm to 2:00 am
Tuesday- 4:00 pm to 2:00 am
Wednesday- 4:00 pm to 2:00 am
Thursday- 4:00 pm to 2:00 am
Friday- 12:00 noon to 2:00 am
