A Note From The President - October/November 2008

Greetings Sacramento Blues Society (SBS) members & blues fans!
Ah, autumn in Northern California. Most of the festivals have ended but there is still some great blues to be had around our area. We will be holding the annual “Battle of the Blues Band” challenge with the winner representing the SBS at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. The SacBlues Challenge is scheduled for October 18 at the Clarion Hotel and I recommend that you drop by and witness some of the talent in our area.
