Dear Blues Family, The Blues Society of Western PA (BSWPA) was privileged to host ‘our’ 13th Annual Blues Challenge. The talented musicians and the ever supportive fans made for an impressive day. The Blues Challenge is one of many undertakings over the years that ‘our’ team has undertaken to fulfill ‘our’ mission: to preserve and promote the Blues in Western PA and borders beyond. A big thank you to Tas Cru and Sonny who shared your talent with the young students at Dilworth Academy on May 15. Thank you to Ruby Red for your efforts in making this project a ‘go’. Thank you to Lori Russo, Dilworth’s music director, who encourages young players to embrace the music as well as their academics.
Thank you to everyone that turned out to support the 13th Annual Blues Challenge hosted by the Blues Society of Western PA on April 29, 2017. The venue, the Cornerstone at Tondidale, filled early and the crowds surged throughout the day. What a testament for the Blues and live music! What an amazing day!!! Blues, blues and more blues kept coming our way. Thirteen acts accepted our challenge. All had very different dynamics. All brought their A game. Thank you to the acts for your hours of preparation. Thank you for arriving early, staying late, sharing the music, sharing the hugs and smiles. It was a pleasure to work with all of you. You all did yourself proud. Thank you to: The Blues Devils
