One week to Memphis!

Excitement is building and we are reaching the final round before heading out. This Sunday will be the big benefit for the three bands going to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge. A duo, Big Jim Adams and John Stilwagen, a youth band, Taylor Marvin, and the Lionel Young Band.

We have been in rehearsal and in the studio, and we are finishing up a new CD to take with us to Memphis. It is a great crew to work with, all very talented and with great spirit. We have had the help and encouragement (and great ears)  Mark Derryberry, recording and mix engineer, one of the best in town.

We will leave a week from Saturday to play a show in St. Louis on the way to Memphis. Meanwhile, this Sunday is a big fundraiser at the Boulder Outlook Hotel - Blues & Greens, to help all three bands get to Memphis for the IBC. The day will kick off at 3pm and the benefit will go til about 7pm... we will have the last set. The regular blues jam follows at 7:30.
Come on down and give us a good send off!
