It's Your Society - we need: • Street Teams - to promote TGGBS events in the area • Membership outreach • Pro-bono legal advice • Newsletter contributors - Writers and CD Reviewers • Sales & marketing • Grant proposals • Web site update suggestions • Blues education & seminars If you would like to support your blues society, regardless of time limitations, please contact me at info@tggbs.org.

 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR IBC ENTRIES FOR 2012!We'd like to express sincere pride in both of our entries this year. Paula Harris & Blu Gruv finished third overall in the 2012 International Blues Challenge (IBC) finals in Memphis (held 2/4/2012). What a great showing! With 110 bands in the challenge, this was no small feat. Wendy DeWitt and Kirk Harwood were impressive and talented professionals in the solo/duo category. Great job everyone. You made us proud! |

Artist Spotlight Of The Month, April, 2012
The South City Blues Band is dedicated to the groove, providing you with a unique blend of swinging Jump Blues, Jazz/Funk Blues, and "old-school" R&B. Whatever you want to call it, this music will get you up and moving. They play a variety of styles to keep it interesting, but the rhythm section keeps it in the pocket, and they never stray far from the source of their musical inspiration — the blues! Between the cutting vocals, ripping guitar lines, wailing sax, and swinging rhythm, they don't let up.
