Just a little shout to all who missed last year's 1st Annual Brooklyn Big Eyed Blues Festival....you missed a grande time. We had the wonderful "Michael Hill Blues Mob", the simulating, gyrating "Keith "The Captain" Gamble and the Brand Nu Gypsies" and me performing with the Befo' Quotet. There were a couple of great historical movies shown by Walter Taylor (I call him the "movie guru"), good food, good spirits, and good spirits!
However, the most exciting and fulfilling aspect of the festival was early in the day, neighborhood youths were given workshops in blues guitar, harmonica and blueswriting. All classes were taught by professional musicians from the neighbor hood,
So, please get ready for this year's festival. We're going to be bringing you more top notch performances. Please mark your calendars and save the date...
