The Road to Memphis

TurnAround Bar & Grille, 14619 Kercheval Ave, Detroit

Detroit Blu has been invited to represent the Kalamazoo Blues Association at the International Blues Competition (IBC) in Memphis Tennessee. The IBC brings together the best blues acts from all over the world for a competition to see who will be selected as the best blues act in the world. The event is held on historic Beale Street in Memphis and is a great opportunity; however, the bands have to pay their own way and Detroit Blu needs your help. So, we have gathered some friends and are hosting an afternoon of music at the TurnAround Bar and Grille. There will be some door prizes and some great local blues acts performing for you. In addition, you can be among the first to hear Detroit Blu's IBC set of original material. You can only get that here so come on out and support Blues with Detroit Blu and friends. We'll have a great time, hear some great music and you can become an important part of the Detroit Blu story. Hope to see you there.
