End of Summer Got You Singing the Blues? Hit the Road and Sing-along at the Women in Blues Event.

This summer has got to be one of the weirdest summers I have ever seen. Between the weather and the broken hearts floating around in those flood waters (mine included), it’s not hard to understand why women are singing the blues.. except that some do it for the fun, sheer pleasure and the love of the genre.
Thanks to good friend and “sistah” on the right coast (girl, we are going to meet one of these days !), Michele Seidman (Michele and the Midnight blues) has got the second annual
Women in Blues Festival kicking off ticket sales on Sept 1, 2007!
