Blues Ball 2007
Thanks Everybody
Hey everybody, well we ended the event calendar in style this past Saturday with Blues Ball 2007. I will have to say that we were overwhelmed by the turnout. We want to thank everybody who came out to see a great show. Also, thanks to all who helped set and breakdown along with those who brought holiday munchies. I want to apologize to anybody that showed up and could not get a seat. Again, we did not expect such a large crowd and will make sure we get a bigger venue next year.
Some pictures of the event (thanks to Roger) can be found here:
Mikey Jr. and the Stone Cold Blues Band to play Blues Ball
with supporting band
Dan Turner and the Dusters
Date: December 8th, 2007 - 8pm
Location: Quality Inn
1485 Montgomery Highway, Birmingham, AL 35216
Tickets: $15 single, $25 couple
Mikey Jr. played at our Magic City Blues Fest held at Sloss Furnaces earlier this year: he was a huge success. People started asking, “when can we get Mikey Jr. back into town”? This young man and his band put on a great show of mainly original music. He had the audience on their feet swaying and dancing to his unique updated 60’s sound. Who could be more perfect for a “Blues Ball”? YES, the Magic City Blues Society will sponsor Mikey Jr.’s return to Birmingham for our annual Blues Ball.
Dan Turner and the Dusters was the second placed band at our intensively competitive Battle of the Blues Band’s competition. They have agreed to open for Mikey Jr.
This promises to be one great Blues party. We will have great door prizes. This will be a BYOB party and will provide the Hors d’ Oeuvres. No overpaying for a house brand you don’t like. Bring your favorite beer, wine or bottle of hooch and mixers. If you plan to imbibe more than a couple, the Quality Inn offers very reasonable room rates. Contact any board member for tickets. We are limited to 120 tickets so buy soon to avoid disappointment. SEE YOU AT THE PARTY!!!
