Blues News You Can Use!
The Music of Christmas!
 
Admittedly not all of it is blues, nor
even blues rock, but from my perspective at least, the musical offerings this
time of year take on a delightful variety that should satisfy music lovers of all types! With the end of the fall
semester at UA and school districts
throughout the area, there is a band, choir, or ensemble performance happening of interest to everyone...and
you will find most of the events are family friendly and free. So why not get into the spirit of the season and enjoy!
 Ticket sales for our annual IBC Fundraiser held each year at the 21c Hotel in Bentonville will open this week. Please check the article below or visit our website for more information. Also
of note, the concert by the AJ McCausland band is being rescheduled.

your ideas included!
