The Blues Society and myself  are excited to be bringing this to you-as it looks like I’ll be able to bring you even more great info on the Local and area “Blues Happenings”, as well as expanding on some other areas on this new format. I’m even going to have some new areas for you to look at–so keep an eye out in the the next few weeks, as I beging to work on tweaking things, and learning as I go. I’m not a “Computer Geek” at all…just a guy who loves the Blues, and wants to share them with the world….

A huge “Thank You” goes out to our great technical master who works “behind the big curtains here in the land of Oz”, Scott Stadler-because, without you-this site would be drying up, intead of growing up!

THE MILLERS-UNPLUGGED! COMING TO JOHN WOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE

You may recognize them as the young men who placed second in the first season of America’s Got Talent, but the Miller family is so much more! Join us as The Millers perform a live acoustic show on Friday, March 26th at 6:30 p.m. in the Mary Ellen Orr Auditorium on the Quincy campus of John Wood, (Webmaster’s Note–This is a great intimate auditorium setting with no bad seats, and excellent acoustics).

This blues-playing family from Lafayette, Indiana consists of 3 brothers (27-year old Clayton on guitar & vocals, 23-year old Cole on drums & vocals, and 16-year old L.D. on harmonica & vocals) joined by their Dad, Larry, occasionally playing bass for the band. They’ve headlined shows in Las Vegas and made national headlines since their appearance on the America’s Got Talent show. They’ve played or recorded with musical talent such as Buddy Guy, India Arie, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Ringo Starr, Joan Jett, The Killers, Joss Stone, BB King and many others. Young L.D. played harmonica for 22,000 fans at Stevie Wonders House of Toys and was the only standing ovation of the evening (the evening also included a Stevie Wonder/Alicia Keys duet!). L.D. has been called the world’s greatest living harmonica player by major music artists.
