Have a look at the bar-side wall of the Fat Cat Blues bar in downtown St. John's and you have a pretty good sense of the mix that makes the Wreckhouse International Jazz and Blues Festival work. There's an image of American blues legend Robert Johnson, jacket on and pressed, guitar in hand. Next to that, an image of a grinning Ron Hynes. It is the mix of local and not, classic and... well... Newfoundland and Labrador.
The 2010 Wreckhouse International Jazz and Blues Festival ended Sunday, with a closing performance by Toronto-based funk band Planet Earth at Dusk Ultralounge.
