Sunday Blues Brunch 5-26-2024

This past Sunday we played all new blues and pounded the pavement for the Devin C. Williams/Sunny Bleau & the Moons show. Unfortunately, not many folks showed up to see two world-class blues acts.

Despite just playing for the house, they put on a great show. Jacksonville, you need to get out and see some blues now. Sometimes you gotta pay to do that! It helps your local business friends and it helps the musicians stay on the road!

On Wednesday, we had Jerseyville native Mattie Schell on What’s On Your Mind talking about Jerseyville’s Rock the Block this Friday. I know many of you will be going to see Isaiah Case’s Band and the Miss Jacksonville pageant this Friday. However, if you want something different, Mattie’s band is right up the road in Jerseyville for free on Friday night. It’s a huge weekend for many things, but you got a great choice in music. I might do a part two this coming week of all new blues tunes.
