CALGARY Musicians are picking up their guitars, playing the keys and singing with soul to save one of Calgary’s most iconic hotspots for live bands and nightlife. The Blues Can, located in the heart of Inglewood, has been shut down for 14 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but an online fundraiser hopes to raise enough revenue to keep the business alive. “The struggles are obvious to everybody because we’re not allowed to have any business and we haven’t had full capacity since the pandemic began,” said Blues Can owner, Gregory Smith. “The bills don’t stop but the income does, so you end up in a situation where you’re working a deficit so the financial support has kept up alive, but it still falls a bit short and nobody thought this would last this long.”
