A Note From The President - April - May 2008

Greetings Sacramento Blues Society (SBS) members & blues fans!
The SBS will be presenting an "All Ages" blues show featuring the Monterey Blues Festival's entry to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis - The Volker Strifler Band on April 13th at the Clarion Hotel. Mr. Strifler not only has his own blues band, he also appears regularly with the Ford Brothers Blues Band. To make this a very "Complete Blues Show", opening will be our own Sacramento Blues Revue! The SBR is a combination of the talent in our area and is headed up by Rick Von Geldern with Marshal Wilkerson, Lena Mosley, Fred Baker III (the Deacon), Zadiee Cole, Johnny "Mojo" Flores and many more!
