As I prepped the calendar this week I found some interesting local musical events at UA and other community sites that are not blues, but are potentially of interest to music lovers. My personal perspective is that beyond blues there is a great opportunity to hear budding young musicians at the college as well as the unique music often available at the WAC and places like Fayetteville Public Library and Crystal Bridges. We will also continue to highlight local jazz performances. So my question is are you as readers content with the current spectrum of music events provided in the calendar listing? I do also realize that sometimes I may miss listing
a local group/artist because I don't know their music style. Please always feel free to drop me a note letting me know the name of your favorite blues inspired
artist so I can be aware of them for future calendar listings.
In the news this week is one last call out to local musicians interested in assisting with Blues in the Schools. I have heard from a couple groups so far, but it is always nice to have a full list of interested artists.
Also, the nomination process for OBS board officers and members is now under way. Please review the article below for additional information.
A new news item this week is an invitation to participate in a free online band booking seminar. Check out the article below for all of the details.
