This is a note from PBPS Prez. Casey Hazelman about some goings-on this weekend:
##
Hello Blues Family,
Over this past Summer Max Drake began hanging out at the Backstreet Buzz Coffeehouse in Reidsville. He occasionally picked some songs but mostly drank coffee and befriended David & Susan Glick, Backstreet’s owners.
Fast forward several weeks. Max’s wife Teresa needed surgery and could not wait until her new job’s insurance kicked in. So still repaying the bills from Max’s Heart surgery a couple of years ago, more medical bills were coming.
David Glick decided something must be done to help his new friends. He asked my partner in a Cup of Blues Mike Carter what could be done. The obvious answer was what the Blues Family does for one of our own; hold a benefit.
So with great thanks to Art at the Clubhouse, 435 Dolley Madison Rd., Greensboro the venue was provided. The Teresa Drake Benefit will start at 2PM Sunday and will be excellent.
A $5.00 raffle ticket purchase will get you in the door. More tickets may be purchased of course ($20 will getcha 5) for even better chances in the Raffles. A beautiful Ibanez Artcore guitar, amp & Stand is the BIG prize. Also raffled will be a hand carved bowl along with cash and other possible items.
The lineup is stellar:
Mel Melton & the Wicked Mojos,
Tad Walters,
The Fairlanes,
Matt Hill & the Buzzkillz
The Swang Brothers,
Lawyers, Guns & Money and
the Not Dead Yet Blues Band.
Plus Matt Walsh is coming in and will be sitting in with many of these bands.
So come out Sunday, help one of our Blues Family and…
As always, please continue supporting live Music and…
Until next week, keep your mojos workin’.
And have a SAFE and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Blues it or lose it,
Casey
