Next week we dive into our Blues in the Schools programs. On Friday, February 23 Ozark Blues Society will present blues history to all the seventh grade students
in Fayetteville Public Schools and with
the help of the Divas on Fire, will give
the kids a chance to hear and enjoy all that the blues has to offer. As the world
of blues loses one legend after another
(read the article below about the loss
of "Sunshine" Sonny Payne) Ozark
Blues Society feels the weight of our mission to bring blues to the young in
our community. It is a core value for us and we want to thank all our members
for their financial contributions to this cause. Membership matters!
Also of note, musically, as we enter the middle portion of the UA Spring semester there are some unique opportunities to enjoy the recitals and concerts on the U of A campus presented by both faculty
and some very talented students.
Finally, read on below to find out more about tonight's performance of the powerhouse Israeli Blues woman, KALO at the Meteor Guitar Gallery in Bentonville.
At our board meeting last week the OBS board discussed that we would like to help our member musicians promote even performances that fall outside the NWA area. We have done this informally, but moving forward if you are a musician member and would like more of your out of area events promoted, please email me and we can find the best way to assist you. Beyond that, everyone please keep me posted about events and shows in
our area and ideas of what you would
like to see in this Newsletter.
Email me anytime at:
