Drew Nelson is conceivably one of Canada’s most criminally underrated musicians, and the Capital Fair cannot be happier that his band is appearing at this years Capital Fair Blues Revue! Influenced by rock & roll and Chicago blues, Nelson began his career at age 16. In his early twenties he co-founded a group with the late harmonica legend Back Alley John. In 1989 he launched The Drew Nelson Band and won over audiences and critics across the country. He became widely known for his slide guitar playing, gritty vocals and well-crafted songs. Nelson organized tours and recorded with the late Canadian blues pioneer Dutch Mason and has shared the stage with artists including B.B. King, Bo Diddley, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and others.

A little about The Pop Shop Performing Arts Academy of Ottawa: Giving back to the community is very important to the Pop Shop. With their ''Kids Kindness Calendar', the All-Stars try to do one good deed or performance monthly. Over the years, they have collected toys and food for animals, hosted a canned food drive, baked cupcakes, made dry-good winter snack bags, and of course performed for several groups of our vulnerable neighbours, and community friends. The all-girl All-Star team can be booked by emailing popshopallstars@yahoo.ca with event details. Come and sing and dance and have a blast with the, often imitated but never duplicated, Pop Shop Performing Arts Academy! The Pop Shop is located in the West End of Ottawa. We are a small but mighty operation, selecting just 25 students a year to participate in our part-time or full-time programs.
