One of Ozark Blues Society's goals (including through this newsletter) is to support live music. You may notice that we feature some non-blues performances. There are several considerations we use to determine when to carry these events. First, we focus our calendar entries on blues artists and venues we have personal relationships with. To compile the listings we rely on community calendars and the venue websites as well as weekly email submissions from artists. Sadly, time does not allow for visiting individual artist websites or social media sites when compiling the calendar. Once we add all the listings from our partners, we add regional blues events we become aware of, and finally non-blues events of community interest. With the spring concert season at UA underway, you will find listings for those events in our calendar going forward. Here's to hoping everyone finds something special they want to go out and enjoy.
This week we again are sharing an article about officer elections and the upcoming OBS annual meeting. Though we have to delay the nominating committee's announcement of their slate of candidates until next week, please be aware that the opportunity for members of OBS to submit candidates is now officially open. Check out the article below for more information on for how to participate.
Always remember, this is YOUR newsletter! Please consider sharing dates that for your favorite artists that are not included in the community calendars we use. We would also love to have a local live blues music reporter to share stories for the newsletter. Many bands have time challenges in submitting information and this would be a great way for fans to show them some love! Please send questions, information, feedback, and suggestions our way. Just click on Sandy's email address below.
We appreciate our readers and want
to see your ideas included!
