Events for October 29 – November 4

The Kentuckiana Blues Society's anniversary celebration is
Saturday, November 8 at Mercurio's Music & Restobar.
This was incorrectly listed in the November KBS newsletter as taking place on October 8.
The KBS Blues Challenge will be the same night
and includes performances by our Youth Representative Gabe Spohn

We apologize for any confusion and hope to see you there!
