There’s a highly impressive next generation waiting in the wings, and on Sunday, from the Molson Ex stage, it delighted the audience. The jury was made up of festival co-founder Trent Wilde, journalist and great blues connoisseur Claude Côté, and harmonica virtuoso Guy Bélanger. After a long period of deliberation, they announced the name of the winning team, the Alex Tintinalli Band, from Kitchener, Ontario, whose teenage lead Alex Tintinalli shows remarkable talent. His band, which includes his father Leo Tintinalli, experienced drummer Chris Flannigan, and Brian Voll, an extremely promising young keyboarder, won the attention of the audience who applauded the original and talented group loud and long.
