Theresa Malenfant grew up surrounded by music in
Dieppe, New Brunswick. From a young age, she
studied the blues, making her singing debut at the age
of 14. While still under age, Theresa snuck into a local
bar and asked to sing with the great Dutch Mason,
bringing the house down and winning an audience of
her own. After winning the East Coast Music Award for
Best Female Artist in 1995, Theresa spent years living
and touring in Europe before returning home to
Canada. In 2015 Theresa won the Blues With a Feeling
(Lifetime Achievement) at the 19th annual Maple Blues
Awards.

2019 saw Theresa and her duo partner guitarist Scott
Medford take home second place in the Solo/Duo
category at the International Blues Competition in
Memphis Tenn. After 40 years of performing and
several critically acclaimed albums under her belt,
Theresa is a vocal powerhouse backed by The
Instigators with Scott Medford (guitar), Mike Hanlon
(bass) and Terry Patterson (drums)
