NEWS:
The Bourbon Street Blues Festival in Allamuchy Park in Waterloo NJ on Sunday was an absolute blast. It was wonderful seeing so many cool friends, and spending time in the great outdoors listening to great blues based music and performing for the people. Thank you to Uncle Pete Hoff, Linda, Kate, Jack, Dave Thiel, and Kennedy Event Services. It was great hearing The Fins, Billy Hector, Bonerama, and Robert Cray. And thank you to the sponsors: Delta Blues Museum, WBGO Radio, Dassinger Creative, Kennedy Event Services, Starrs Party & Tent Rentals, and The Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation.
Evan Ginsburg's party in Lefrak City, Queens was also a blast, and hanging out with so many wonderful people including John Winnell. Thanks Evan.
