Blues for the Zoo Concert<br />
Moonridge Animal Park holds fundraiser event<br />
Due to last year’s success, the Moonridge<br />
Animal Park is making their Blues for the<br />
Zoo fundraising concert an annual festival<br />
event, and this year’s 2nd Annual Blues for the<br />
Zoo Concert will take place on Saturday, Aug. 6.<br />
The concert will be held at Big Bear Lake’s Swim<br />
Beach Outdoor Amphitheater (located at 41220<br />
Park Avenue in Big Bear Lake).<br />
Music runs from 3pm to 7pm with gates<br />

Headlining this year’s concert will be the<br />
Chicago Blues Guitar Shootout with Ronnie<br />
Baker Brooks, Lurrie Bell and Larry McCray.<br />
They are three of the hottest young guitarists<br />
carrying on the Chicago Blues tradition. Also<br />
Maria Muldaur and her Red Hot Bluesiana<br />
Band will be playing. Maria has been making<br />
great Blues and Folk music since her Greenwich<br />
Village Days and her “Midnight at the Oasis”<br />
heyday. She received her 6th Grammy nomination<br />
in 2010. To round out this year’s concert<br />
will be Brother Yusef. Yusef is a master solo<br />
guitarist, who forges new ground with selfpenned<br />
songs he describes as organic deep-fried<br />
fattback blues.<br />
