Judge for Ricky Paquette

Energy, enthusiasm and youth are a natural fit. There’s nothing more fun or exciting at a blues festival than watching a young man like Ricky Paquette apply his energy and enthusiasm to his exceptional gifts as a performer and showman on stage.

Fearless on stage, this Outaouais guitarist has the chops and spirit to tackle blues standards by Vaughan, Hendrix and Clapton while adding some fine original songs into the set list for good measure.

A bright young star who is turning music into inspiration Ricky Paquette is just warming up!
