Lee Aaron - 'Diamond Baby'

By David Farrell

Lee Aaron – ‘Diamond Baby’ (Big Sister Records/Universal): This original song is the title track from Diamond Baby Blues, (born) Karen Lynn Greening’s latest album. Laced with screaming blues-tinged rockers, the LP includes originals and covers, such as Clint Ballard’s “Your No Good,” Rod Stewart’s “Hard Road,” Deep Purple’s “Mistreated” and Koko Taylor’s anthemic “I’m A Woman.”


If ever anyone deserved to hit the big top and earn back the years she has put in as a singer on the road, Aaron is it. She’s not mellowed an iota here, and packs in 12 tracks that scream, soar, moan and rip with a backing band that does a whole lot more than play for pay. Upcoming show dates include outdoor jamborees that include Germany’s Wacken metal fest and Sweden's hard-rock Skogsrojet event. Later in the year, she has outdoor shows in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Festivals News

Vancouver Folk Music Festival has announced the appointment of Corbin Murdoch as its new executive director. He is a local arts-scene veteran who recently served as the executive director of the Dawson City Music Festival and earlier worked with Theatre Replacement and the Cultch in Vancouver.

The VFMF is now heading into its 49th year. The Georgia Straight notes that "one of Vancouver’s longest-running cultural events, the festival survived a rough patch as the world was emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic." In Jan. 2023, the fest announced the cancellation of that summer's fest, but a public outcry saw that decision reversed and the event has continued annually since then.
