ReplyDelete“This is a not-to-miss opportunity to see the ‘Ambassador to the Blues’. Charlie Musselwhite was the 1995 Siskiyou Blues Festival headliner at the same Dunsmuir Park venue. It was the most-attended of the annual Siskiyou Blues Festivals during 1993-2001. You do not have to be a blues lover to walk away from this performance in awe.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Ron Lovelace Band, is a premier Siskiyou Blues Society band, and an another not-to-miss of local blues artists. Keith Anderson, former Treasurer, Siskiyou Blues Society”
