A Word...<br />
From KCBS President Lil’ Joe Sherrick<br />
Keeping On With the Grand Tradition<br />
...<strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Blues</strong><br />
Augusts' Character Quality<br />
Yes, the dog days of summer seem to have arrived. The only thing that can get hotter is the great music that our<br />
local musicians provide us here in <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>. We are so blessed to have so many talented musicians and venues<br />
in the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> area that it is not difficult to enjoy live blues 7 nights a week.<br />
By the time you read <strong>this</strong>, the <strong>Blues</strong> Challenge will be underway and we have really great talent participating <strong>this</strong><br />
year. Whichever band wins, Memphis will be getting another great representation from <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>. The KCBS<br />
website and KCBS Face book page will post winners of each round as they become available.<br />
On August 23rd at 8 p.m. KCBS will be presenting Tad Robinson in concert at Knuckleheads Saloon, Tad is a<br />
seven time BMA nominee and most recently as the 2011 Best Male <strong>Blues</strong> Artist. He has an incredible voice and<br />
stage presence and you certainly will not want to miss <strong>this</strong> performance. “Tad places near the top of the list of the finest living singers of soul blues”<br />
Downbeat Magazine<br />
KCBS will also host The KC <strong>Blues</strong> Fest at Kaw Point on Sept. 29th in <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Kansas</strong>. The headline act will be the legendary Big Bill Morganfield,<br />
son of the great Muddy Waters, along with many great acts from <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>. Big Bill will be backed by KC Kelsey and his All Star band. This<br />
first annual event will be held from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM and will be sponsored by Boulevard Brewery, Central States Beverage, Harvesters, KCK<br />
Downtown Shareholders, and Friends of Kaw Point, just to name a few. Please watch our web site www.kcbluessociety.org for more details and<br />
updates as new information becomes available. Friday night Sept. 28th there will be a pre-festival party at Freddy T’s in Olathe, featuring Big Bill<br />
Morganfield with Levee Town. Tickets to the 28th event at Freddy T’s may be purchased from Freddy T’s or at the door. This is sure to be a sellout<br />
so get your tickets early. Tickets for the festival may be purchased in advance for $15.00 through PayPal at www.kcbluessociety.org or at the gate<br />
for $20.00. As a special offer, any donation to Harvesters at the gate will reduce a $20.00 ticket to $15.00. So plan to put on your party hats and<br />
dancing shoes and come out to hear some great blues while helping a worthy cause.<br />
We are still looking for donations for the “Raise the Roof” program with the <strong>Blues</strong> Foundation. This campaign is to support the <strong>Blues</strong> Hall of Fame<br />
and is about giving a little back to the musicians that have given us so much. Your donation is tax deductible and is important to keep the <strong>Blues</strong><br />
alive. You can find information at www.blues.org or on our website at www.kcbluessociety.org. Have a great month and stay Coooool.<br />
We are looking forward to seeing you out and about,<br />
Good Bluzin’ and God Bless<br />
Your President, Lil’ Joe<br />
