Upcoming Blues Society Events
- Next regular MnBS Board Meeting, Thursday, June 13, @ TBD .
|
The Minnesota Blues Society is pleased to announce that we will be holding a Road To Memphis competition in 2019. We had many positive responses from our community and we are confident that when we reopen the application period in May, we will get enough entries to hold a competition on June 30. Please see www.mnbs.org for details. The application period will be open during the entire month of May. Solo/duo acts and bands may enter if they meet the Minnesota Blues Society requirements. |
How do you define the blues? “It’s a feeling, it’s soul, the one that’s inside you and inside all people." -Three times Minnesota Blues Hall of Famer Scottie Miller
In a premiere LIVE event May 29th, 7PM CT, at the A440 Studios, Minnesota Broadcast Legend Diana Pierce will sit down with singer/song writer and Minnesota Blues Legend Scottie Miller for a Q & A where he’ll share his insight on his extraordinary blues career. From his rock and roll start to his southern blues, funk and soul journey, he’ll share his influences while delighting the audience with his solo piano performances.We’ll also hear his stories about his friendship with international blues great Bo Diddley, to how he got his nickname “Bones,” to being the current trusted keyboard artist to another international blues great, Ruthie Foster. Once the LIVE program is over, Scottie Miller continues with his performance in an exclusive “After Show.” This is a ticketed event so we ask that you please purchase tickets in advance. Seating is very limited and this event will sell out fast! If you have questions, please call A440 Studios at 855-851-A440. You don’t want to miss this extraordinary evening! |
