The December membership meeting will be held at the Rhythm Room on Wednesday, December 15th, beginning at 7:00 pm. It will be our annual Holiday Party and Potluck. We'll provide the sub sandwiches. Bring a dish to share with your best blues friends! Right after the party, starting at 8:00 pm, will be a benefit for Sistah Blue to help raise travel money for their trip to Memphis for the International Blues Challenge in February. In addition to the Sistahs, appearing at the benefit will be some of Arizona's best blues talent, including Hans Olson, Cold Shott & The Hurricane Horns, The Blues Wizards, Jim Glass Band, Frank Ace Band, Dennis Rowland, Ronnie Whitehead, Mike Moses, George Bowman, Mikel Lander, One Class Act, and more. Emcee for the evening will be the inimitable Bill Chesser. Admission will be $5, with all proceeds going to Sistah Blue. Come on out and show your support for the Sistahs! It will also be a good night to complete your holiday shopping by buying PBS souvenirs, Blues Blast tickets, etc. at the Holiday Party.
