OTTAWA'S CHARITY RHYTHM & BLUES BAND

Come join us live for a good cause

 

 

About

Barry and the Blasters are very proud to be a supporter of local charities. We are a Blues and R&B group that has been playing to packed audiences in various venues in and around Ottawa since 2005. Our repertoire ranges from Eric Clapton, Elmore James to popular standards of Jimmy Smith, Colin James and Otis Redding. Barry and the Blasters bring together a rich variety of musical experience and influence to create a distinctive roadhouse sound.

The Band

Over the course of the last five years, Barry and The Blasters have played sold out shows to help a variety of local charities. Raising money for a good cause is always rewarding but this band just loves playing music whether it’s blues, R&B or classic rock.

 Our Philosophy

Live music is great and we love playing it! Although not all of us are originally from the Ottawa area, we use every live performance to support a local charity. We depend on our fans for the energy and support they bring to every gig…thank you!

Our Mission

Our goal has always been to raise as much money as we can while providing a great show. We estimate that in total, Barry and the Blasters have raised over $25,000 for a number of local charities, including:

Blasterlings, Today is St. Patrick’s Day and although many past St. Patrick’s Days have fallen inconveniently in the middle of the work week, this year we have been blessed by the fact that it lies on a convenient Saturday. So take the day and embrace your inner Irishman, or Irishwoman whether it be at home [...]
