Brown's Blues 2007
Chris Brown just emailed me about his up and coming Blues Benefit. Last year it was a real fantastic time. It costs $25, but it goes to a good cause. There's a some cheesy video from Brown's Blues 2006

It looks like I'm gonna try another benefit! This year's event will be held at the beautiful Palaia Winery, Sunday Sept.30 from 2-7pm. they have a huge stage nestled right amongst the grapes in front of the same creek and mountain from last year's benefit. hopefully we'll have no rain at this time of year! Palaia Vineyard is located six miles north of the Woodbury commons outlet on rte 32 in highland mills n.y. Food will be available from Mamma Theresa, great Italian!!!

Tickets are again only $25, children and dog's free.

Music this year will range from bluegrass to R&B to straight up blues. Carlos Colina, Pat Jones and Gil Cruz will be making a return, as will a slew of special guests under the moniker " Willie Blood's Bucket of Blues" I hope that you can make it. The setting is incredible with professional lights, sound and stage!
I might be talked into bring some amps and mics. Email if you are coming and we'll see what we can set up for tasting. 

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
