Events: Blues Fest 06 Update

Blues FestJoeyG writes
"Hello blues lovers...

Just a few words to keep you updated for the 2006 season. We are planning The Bluesfest for Friday and Saturday September 29th & 30th, 2006. we are going to attempt something new this year. We are going to mix the blues with 70's & 80's ROCK. Tell us what you think.

With the festival being in the fall year, we hope to attract a large amount of students from SIU. We are advised that most young students are as they say "Into" the Rock music from that era.

We are also looking for voluteers to help out back stage, security, and with parking for the event. My cell number is listed in the first posting on this site. We are also currently accepting any sponsorships proposals. So if you know of any business or private persons who have any advertising funds for marketing of their business. let us know..

Thanks,
Joe

It sounds like a good idea but as always greatly depends on what bands you book. I'm hopeful that it will be some good ones. There are lots of the 70's bands touring, Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Oak Arkansas, Head East, 38 Special, etc. that should be in your price range. If you were to book several of the "good ole' bands" I for one would be willing to pay a little more for admission than you've been charging. When will we know who's playing? Also, why don't you have it a week later so you can call it "Rocktoberfest"?

By the way, good move booking Nick Moss and The Flip Tops. Not exactly a big name but a first rate blues band! Personally I could do without "Hurricane" Wilson though. Greatly over-rated in my opinion.
