A BIG thanks to all of the Southeast Iowa Blues Society Members who volunteered to help make this event possible. The Nick Moss band with Dennis Gruenling put on an awesome show, true professional BLUES musicians, no slackers in these great artists. In true Blues fashion, Nick and the band not only gave us an evening to remember but in the process spoke passionately in support of our mission to keep BLUES music available to Southeast Iowa. Nick also took the time to play our raffle guitar which was won by Roger Hagedorn of Independence Iowa, who smiled from ear to ear when it was handed to him. Keep watching our website, and we will keep you posted about upcoming events like the 2019 Iowa Blues Challenge and our Blue Ribbon Blues Fest Saturday August 3rd, at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Fairfield Iowa.
Blues On,
When we think about great blues there are some obvious places that come to mind; Chicago, Memphis, the delta and Iowa. Yes Iowa!
In recent years the list of amazing blues artist coming from the heartland continues to impress, and “The Avey/Grouws Band” is the latest group causing blues lovers to sit up and take notice. Winners of the 2017 Iowa Blues Challenge, The Avey/Grouws Band took their powerful sound to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tn. and filled the clubs with it’s hard hitting soul filled sets, making it all the way to the semifinals.
That journey to the international Blues Challenge started in DesMoines during an Iowa Blues Challenge qualifier, and now Avey/Grouws will hit the stage in Fairfield, to treat fans to a night exploring rock and blues grooves at the Best Western Fairfield Inn Saturday November 10th presented by The Southeast Iowa Blues Society.
After a string of dates through the mid-south, Avey/Gouws returns for select dates across the Midwest before their winter tour of Florida. The Southeast Iowa Blues Society date is one of only 3 Iowa dates on this latest tour.
Tickets for The Avey/Grouws Band are just $12 or $10 for Blues Society Members and available at the Classic 96 Studios in Fairfield or Morgan’s Corner Bar and Grill in Ottumwa and by calling 641-919-7477.
Pictured here is Kevin BF Burt with Pierre Lacocque of The Mississippi Heat. The year 2017 has come to a close and Rockin in The Blue Year was a great way to leap into the new year. Kevin BF Burt’s up front and personal style had the audience wrapped up with his original Blues music writing, and great guitar and harmonica playing, opening up the show for Pierre and The Mississippi Heat.
The Mississippi Heat brought the heat to the very cold Iowa night and kept the dance floor jumpin all night long. Both Kevin and the Mississippi Heat were fantastic and what a great way to finish up the blues for 2017. A big thanks to everyone including our sponsors who made this event possible, as the Southeast Iowa Blues Society continues to keep Da Blues alive in our own back yard.
