FIRST ANNUAL "SANTA CLARITA VALLEY BLUES FESTIVAL"
Saturday, June 3rd at Central Park, Santa Clarita

On June 3rd, the Society hosted "The First Annual SCV Blues Festival" in conjunction with the ACS "Relay For Life" at Central Park in Santa Clarita. This was an all day event featuring eight of the top Blues Bands in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Featured performers for the Festival were Michael John & The Bottom Line, The Jeff Jensen Band, Forced Call, Toni Dodd & Southbound Blues, The Moxie Blues Band, Boiler House Blues, Mike Dill and Parker-Sabie.

Before and after "The Blues Festival", we also had some of our other members' bands perform. They include Nuttin' Cowboy, Weedeeter and Katee Gadette.

This incredible lineup was followed by a 4 hour "Acoustic Blues Jam". We had an attendance of over 4,500 people and they witnessed the incredible talent that exists on our own doorstep. John Parker, who often performs for ACS events, was responsible for putting the entire concert together by working as the Entertainment Chairman for the SCV Relay.

Thanks to Chris Sabie, The SCV Blues Society was a Bronze Sponsor for the Relay and had a booth right next to the stage. We had a lot of interested Blues lovers stop by to check us out.

We have had so many favorable comments regarding the festival and many requests for more entertainment, that we are in the early planning stages for "The Second Annual SCV Blues Festival" for 2007. Thanks to all of our bands that participated and our members who worked tirelessly in the hot summer sun. Our Society Rocks!
