Keeping THe Blues Alive
The Long Island Blues Society is working with the Sonny Boy Williamson Blues Society to help its effort to continue presenting the annual King Biscuit Blues Festival in West Helena, Ark., and fund the Quicksand Stage, which last year featured Long Island's own Gail Storm.
Non-profit organizations are not receiving Federal and State grants - even those previously awarded -- under recent executive orders. Lack of funding put the festival, the second longest-running shindig (Chicago is first, if you're keeping score) in jeopardy.
Enough has been raised so far to hire acts for a two-day event on Oct. 10 and 11, but more funding is needed to ensure a rousing success.
All donations are tax deductible. Any amount helps. ANY AMOUNT.. $1 to $100K! Just click here to help keep this festivsal rolling.
And while we are on the subject, the buskers stage during the festival - which featured LI's own Gail Storm last year -- is looking to return as well. We are joining with our friends at the Windy City and Kansas City Blues Sociteies to make sure there is a place for up-and-coming acts to shine. Click here to help.
