Reviewers have described this Maple Blues Award-winning band as stripped-down, hellaciously rockin’ new blues with the distinctive voice and guitar-work of Murray Kinsley, awesome harmonica, and a rhythm section that swings with reckless, casual precision (Laura Greenberg on bass and Dave Tettmar on drums).

Based in Ottawa, Canada, the band has delivered it’s innovative, original blues to venues and festivals across Canada, the US, England and Germany with great success and accolades.

Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin won the Maple Blues Award for “Best New Group” in 2014 and Laura Greenberg is a two time Maple Blues Awards Bassist of the Year while Dave Tettmar is a two time British Blues Music Award winner. The act was a semi-finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, January 2019.

Wicked Grin’s latest album “Murder Creek”  has earned widespread industry acclaim and was a semi-finalist for the 2019 International Blues Challenge Best Self-Produced CD Award.

To the journey!
