Anyone interested in a Nov 6th Blues Concert?
2 Sep
Just wanting to check in with our members, and website followers…We have decided NOT to hold the BLUE NOTE DERBY this year, which would have been held on Nov. 6th at Turner Hall in Quincy. Instead, since we had no Quincy Area Blues Fest this year, we’ve thought about putting on a late fall concert on November 6th at Turner Hall instead. (We’d like to promote this at the Sept10th Blues in the District Concert). Probably 2 bands, 1 national act, and a local band. It would probably require a $10 cover charge to cover the expenses of this. Some of the Bands available to us for that date include E.C. Scott (great female vocalist), The Chicago Rhythm & Blues Kings, The Kinsey Report, Eddie Shaw, Jim Suhler & Monkeybeat (George Thorogood’s guitarists band), Maurice John Vaughan, Shirley Johnson, Michael Charles, Shawn Pittman, Byther Smith. Others include: Rockin Jake, Sharrie Williams, Daddy Mack Blues Band, Bill Lupkin, Eric Jerardi, John Lisi, The Avey Brothers, Andrew Jr. Boy Jones, Preston Shannon, Steve “the Harp” Blues Band, and also-Bruce Katz….
I probably shouldn’t jinx this, BUT-I think I even have an outside chance of getting “The Mahoney Brothers” together for a reunion for this event, though not yet locked down on this quite yet-though they are starting to talk about doing a few shows together in the near future….
IF we have enough interest from everyone, we can do this–BUT, only if people are willing to support this. We don’t want to have a event that loses the societies money-we still want to hold out hope for the possibility of a 2011 QABF….I’d love to hear everyone’s votes on acts, and opinions on holding a November Blues Concert…
