The Vaudevillian
The Vaudevillian is an award-winning jugband ragtime blues duo hailing from Saugeen Shores, Ontario, bringing the sounds of the Prohibition era to life with high-energy performances and vintage flair. Comprised of old-fashioned gentleman Jitterbug James and the sweet and sassy Norah Spades, the duo charms crowds with washboard rhythms, resonator guitar, banjo, and musical spoons. Their toe-tapping, dance-worthy tunes have taken them across Canada, the USA, and Europe, lighting up festivals and theatres with their unique blend of history and showmanship. Known for their engaging Washboard and Musical Spoon Workshops, The Vaudevillian has taught over 5,000 participants the joys of vintage rhythm. Touring in their beloved 1989 RV, this ragtime revival act might just be rolling into a festival near you—so keep your eyes (and ears) open!
