Blind dates can be an exciting way to meet new people and build lasting and fruitful relationships.

They can also be a complete and utter disaster that you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy.

But the risk is something jazz star Coco Love Alcorn is willing to take when she takes the stage alongside fellow musician Khari McClelland at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster, B.C. The duo have never met, but have long wanted to collaborate.

"We are basically going to have a blind date live on stage this Thursday — and we're both thrilled," she told host Margaret Gallagher on CBC's Hot Air.


The concert will bring together both artist's respective styles. In fact, many of their friends have long thought Alcorn's jazz roots and soulful voice would mesh well with Khari's equally magnetic sound.
