Blues News You Can Use!
 Heat it Up!
As we all take the challenge of this hot weather, regional blues musicians and their supporters can cool it down by spending some time helping us get the word out and raise interest in our October 14th Blues Challenge. Remember, if you are, or know, a blues musician within 250 miles of Bentonville keep an eye on our website when it updates in the next few days. All the information you need to prepare to register in September will be available.
Check out the updated article below for more information.
The returning articles this week are the links for the the ongoing music series in the area and the continuing article for the weekly Blues History feature from Big Train and the Loco Motives. Read on below for more information and to access these great blues history presentations.
Perhaps you are not seeing your favorite blues artist or venue listed in our calendar? We compile listings from local community calendars for our partner artists and venues throughout the area. Remember, artists and fans alike may send us blues event listings that may not appear in the community calendars. Just email SANDY to share
listings that include performances occurring from next weekend through the following weekend.
It's always important to say, this is YOUR newsletter! Please send questions, information, feedback, and suggestions our way. Just click below to email Sandy.
We appreciate our readers and want
to see your ideas included!
