Blues News You Can Use!
Last Week...
 
Whew....what a transition! Not that it was perfect weather all week in Florida, but it was sure a challenge to get in the groove of winter weather as we drove into it on I-49 just north of Mountainsburg (not a great place to meet sudden winter weather...ever!) But, my mom and I persevered and thankfully managed
to arrive home safely. With the sun
back out and temperatures on the rise probably all of us are breathing a
sigh of relief as we get back to our
regular day to day activities.
This week we bring you some new
articles for both our musician and fan readers...and the calendar below is
full of fun updated events. Also be
sure to take note of the "Mark Your Calendar" article below that has the
first release info about our annual
IBC Fundraiser held each year at
the 21c Hotel in Bentonville.
  Feel I am missing an event? Just click
the link below to email Sandy.  
  And always remember, this is YOUR newsletter! Please send feedback or suggestions our way. You can reach me by email at the address below. We LOVE our readers and want to see
your ideas included!

AJ McCausland Band
to visit NWA
Northwest Arkansas is in for a treat as the Wichita based blues rock AJ McCausland
Band visits Mojo's Pints and Pies on
Saturday, December 7, 2019. Read on for more information.
********
“Forget tomorrow, let’s enjoy the time we share. There’s always tomorrow but it’s no good if you’re not here. Live life for the moment and hope the consequence is fair.” 
 
Blues rock that lives in the moment. The AJ McCausland Band brings influences of folk, influences of jazz and tinges of reggae
into their original music. While firmly blues rock at the core, the band does not back away from where the music takes them and embraces the jam band mentality of exploration and being fully immersed in the present.
