Blues News You Can Use!
Going Forward
  So much has changed in the last week. Hopefully this newsletter finds you and your loved ones safely sheltering at home as much as you are able. 
Since the challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak have now become a reality in the US and live events are all cancelled, beginning this week, our calendar will become inactive and instead, we will share information submitted by readers giving information on ways to connect and support your favorite artists and venues during this unprecedented time.
I would encourage you to reach out through social media to the bands and musicians whose shows you may
end up missing in order to encourage them as we all face this reality of
required social distancing. Let them know you care, let them know how their music brightens your world, and if you are
in a position to do so, support them through online means.
  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 appreciate our readers and want
to see your ideas included!
