Can you feel the energy building?
No? Perhaps you have not been part
of a band's preparation before they head to Memphis....to play in iconic clubs on Beale St...and compete in the 2023 International Blues Challenge!
Well...if you have missed out on the excitement before, you are in luck this year! You have the opportunity to join the Downtown Livewires along with their friends and fans at the Meteor Guitar Gallery in Bentonville tomorrow (Saturday) night as they share the show they will take to Memphis a little over
a week from now. They will be joined
by Buddy Shute and the Motivators
(Best Self Produced CD entry) and
the Jeff Horton Band (2022 IBC challenger.) It will be an awesome night of blues! Read on below for all the information and the ticket link.
A couple new news articles this week. Check out today's Ozarks at Large radio show on KUAF to hear an interview with members of our Best Self-produced CD entry, Buddy Shute and band. Also, check out the article on a cool program coming up next weekend at the downtown Fayetteville Juke Joint Project. You will find more information on both of these events in the articles below.
Always remember, this is YOUR newsletter! Please consider sharing dates that for your favorite artists that are not included in the community calendars we use. We would also love to have a local live blues music reporter to share stories for the newsletter. Many bands have time challenges in submitting information and this would be a great way for fans to show them some love! Please send questions, information, feedback, and suggestions our way. Just click on Sandy's email address below.
We appreciate our readers and want
to see your ideas included!
