We have had no formal feedback from members or anyone else for that matter about
International Blues Music Day. Any feedback you would like to make about the event would be
welcome. Please address your thoughts and observations to
committee@canberrabluessociety.com.au.
The September Pro Blues Jam with Dean Edgecombe and the Seventh Sons should be a
corker. They have recently launched an excellent new album and will be playing to impress!
The JD Band has also released a new album and it is also terrific! Two local albums to celebrate.
One of the best ways we can support our local Blues Musicians is to purchase their merch so make sure you get copies of both these
great albums. They are both available from the bands at their gigs.
The Youth in Blues Pro Jam last month featured Midnight Mojo from Goulburn. They were terrific and it was good to see other young
musicians joining us for the jam as well.
What a show Chris Cain gave us last month. It wasn’t a CBS gig but there were plenty of our members there to enjoy it. I, for one,
thought he and his Sydney based pick up band absolutely cooked!
US Grammy award winner Charlie Musselwhite and his band play on the 24th of September. I’ll say it again. Tickets to this premier
event are still selling well & expected to sell out before the event. Don’t wait too long if you want tickets to this premier show.
NOTE: This show will be a mix of seated and standing, with doors opening at 6:30pm. The wonderful Fiona Boyes will be kicking off the
show at 7:30pm.
Pat Powell is coming to the Tuggeranong Arts Centre for a show and a Vocal Workshop on Saturday 5th October. Entry to the
workshop is free, but bookings are essential. (more details on page 9)
Don’t forget to check out the events page and the gig guide on the website for more details and lots more local gigs in our vibrant local
scene.
