Quicksand

Background

Still at the stage of being considered a band to catch by a much smaller audience than their entertainment value justifies, Quicksand opened for Tony D and Trevor Finlay in September 2001 on the Ottawa Blues Cruise. The band got things off to an infectious start filling the boat's dance floor very quickly and kept the boat blusin' and rockin' until Tony and Trevor continued the days fun.

Quicksand has been a band of choice for Ottawa's newest Blues and Jazz Club, The Bayou at 1071 Bank St. near Sunnyside across from the Mayfair Theatre. At The Bayou's 1st Anniversary party, the band was well up to the task of blusin' and rockin' the Bayou to a great finish with its party goers still wanting more.

From club gigs to benefit concerts and outdoor parties, Quicksand has been entertaining audiences with their high energy shows, consisting of a fiery blend of rock, blues, and original tunes.

Events and venues played include The Ottawa Blues Cruise, The Bayou, Tucson's Roadhouse, The Gilmore, The Lockmaster, Baxter's, Bobby's, The Lighthouse, Shawville Community Centre, Dunrobin Labour Day Bash, Clarence's Poker Run and numerous private parties.

Besides opening for Tony D and Trevor Finlay on the Blues Cruise, Quicksand ended off 2001 by keeping the fun going at The Bayou well into the first wee hours of 2002 to start the new year off right.

The band did repeat Blues Cruise performance in 2002. Check out the fun at both cruises on the links page.
