Blues Society Concert Fundraiser

An Evening of Blues Music as Featured in the New Book -

by Kevin Belford
Artists: featured in the show will be - Tom Hall, Doug & Sharon Foehner, Leroy Pierson, and Silvercloud & Ron Edwards.
Date/Showtime: Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Proceeds from the show will benefit the St. Louis Blues Society, a 501C-3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving blues music, to fostering the growth and appreciation of blues music, and to providing blues artists with an opportunity for public performance.
This show will feature performances of St Louis’ pre-war (WWII) blues music, as presented in the book "Devil at the Confluence" from Virginia Publishing by Kevin Belford. Kevin will be in attendance at the show to sign copies of his book (also available for sale) and present some of his art work. Included with the book is a CD from Delmark Records of rare recordings of the St Louis Blues Legends.
Kevin Belford's New Book
Kevin Belford has published a history of pre-war Blues music in St. Louis called "Devil at the Confluence." I think that this book would be of great interest to many Society members.
