WIN! ...and WIN?
Thank you to all the members of OBS who participated in the King Biscuit Festival VIP ticket give away. This opportunity was one of the "perks" of being a member. We hope to offer more such opportunities in the future! And the winner of the tickets IS....Glen Carlson! Best wishes to Glen for an amazing trip to "The Biscuit."
So, one winner is among us...but we are looking for more. There is only one week left to sign up for the October 25, 2019 OBS Blues Challenge in Bentonville. Blues musicians within a 250 mile radius of Bentonville can sign up to compete. Registrations have starting coming in, but there is room for more!
