From the "Dennis McClung Blues Band" on June 5th to "The Fabulous Thunderbirds" on August 10th, I have listened to sixteen concerts in ten weeks. Wow, now that is a good summer. Buy me an iced tea at the Courts Street Grill and I will tell you all about them, but the concert of late that impressed me the most was Ruthie Foster at Wheeling. Ruthie grew up in a family immersed in the blues and gospel. She has a strong , clear voice and can hit a wide range of notes. I especially liked how she dedicated one tune, "Traveling On" to the late KoKo Taylor. Playing behind Ruthie are family members- a woman on the drums and the bass guitar. We will be hearing much more from Ruthie in the future, hopefully in venues around the Mountain State. Chile Pepper | | Emerson Sports Grill 4000 Emerson Ave, Parkersburg, WV 304-422-7655
Hey folks, if you consider yourself a live music fan, then it's time YOU came out and started supporting one of Parkersburg's FEW live music venues. This place has gone from a brash, loud, smoke-filled pick-up joint with no service (the old Front Row) to a smaller, more cozy and intimate listening place for acoustic music. On Friday nights, they feature some of the regions best singer songwriters and acoustic musicians unplugged. The beer is ice-cold, the wings and burgers are tasty, and you won't smell any cigarettes -- the place has been completely remodeled. The music is only one night -- FRIDAYS. It's really a nice place. Come out and support it, or we'll lose it just like the other live music venues that have given up on us. Check it out. the Voice.
Coming to The Emerson Sports Grill: Liz Pennock & Dr. Blues from St. Petersburg, Florida FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4th 9PM - 12Mid.

They come "home" to see us every Summer, so PLEASE come out and SUPPORT them --- one of the few nationally touring musicians from our area.

In this young 4-piece band there is one bachelors degree and 2 masters degrees in music. OK so we normally do not associate academics and blues music, but these guys are fantastic musicians whether or not they have some kind of paper degree to back it up. If you get the chance to hear them we think you will hear the huge talent of this band, regardless of their academic backgrounds." Aug 6, Blues Blast e-zine. More from "The Blast": Bryan Lee "We made it out to s ahow by New Oleans musician Bryan Lee and the Power Blues Band this week. We were thrilled to see that Bryan had Brent Johnson playing guitar with him again. Brent has not been playing with the band for the last 8 months because of illness, but he is back and sounding better than ever. If you go see Bryan Lee you will be impressed with his GREAT show. He is one of the best touring acts around anywhere." Aug 6 Blues Blast e-zine.

| About The Blues, Jazz & Folk Music Society The Blues, Jazz & Folk Music Society is a non-profit, 501 (c) 3 all-volunteer "force" of music enthusiasts on a mission to enhance the appreciation of American Roots Music in the Mid-Ohio Valley and we do it by presenting concerts, workshops, conferences, and a forum for education and development in the schools.
The BJFM Society celebrates and perpetuates blues and roots music as a traditional, evolutionary, and uniquely American art form. During the grant period, we will continue to present live music in genres not normally available in a small town like ours, to educate and expose our audiences to music new and unfamiliar to many of them. Our goal is to keep blues, jazz and roots music alive in our area.
With the help of volunteers from our membership, and an 8-member board of directors, the BJFM Society will continue to produce and present our "core events" plus other shows throughout the year as the opportunity presents itself. The BJFM Society has also undertaken the expense of production and presentation of the nationally recognized multicultural "Blues in the Schools" program here in our local schools The Blues, Jazz & Folk Music Society Board of Directors: John Bolen - President Steve Wells - Vice President, Director of "Blues in The Schools" Peg Bolen - Treasurer Maren Beery - Secretary John Gifford - Board Member, Competition Director, Stage Manager Helen Holt - Board Member Mary Ann Osborne - Board Member Kezia Douglass - Board Member
