Upcoming Blues Society Events
- Next regular MnBS Board Meeting, 6:30 pm, Thursday, August 13, 2020, @ TBD
 Karen Palm, the owner of the Minnesota Music Cafe, is selling this DVD as a benefit for the music community. Karen and Gerry Francis created the DVD from live performances at MMC. The cost is $20 and it is available at Minnesota Music Cafe online store. Karen is personally mailing out each DVD that is purchased. She is making no profit from this. All of the proceeds are going back to the music community. — Steve Leutgeb |

2020 MN Blues Hall of Fame Postponed
The Board of Directors of the Minnesota Blues Society has decided to postpone the 2020 Minnesota Blues Hall of Fame Ceremony until 2021. We have had a lot of discussion about how we could have a small event or a video presentation of the Hall of Fame Awards. The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Banquet is the premier event staged by the Minnesota Blues Society each year. The Board of Directors decided that we don't want to hold an event that would slight our award winners in any way.
Our decision was made with consideration of the amount of planning and preparation that is required to stage the Hall of Fame. The continuing uncertainty that we face with the effects of Covid-19 makes this much more difficult.
Please understand that this is a difficult decision because we have many exceptional musicians and members of our music community who deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
