The M.M.M.W.B.S. held it’s monthly meeting last night (Jan. 15th), and at that time selected the Bands and entertainers for the 2009 QABF. We will be beginning negotiations with bands next week, and hope to have a Tentative Lineup by the end of the month. However–we probably won’t announce the Lineup until we get contacts mailed out, signed, returned and reviewed, and fully agreed upon. We usually wait until the Dogwood Parade weekend (First weekend in May) to announce the Blues Fest Lineup–but stay tuned-you never know whether or not I might leak this info early….So, ANY BANDS wanting to be considered for this year–we are not taking any more submissions at this time, although-any CD’s that we recieve from bands will be considered for fm radio airplay on one of the several Blues radio shows in the area…
