I was recently chosen by the by a panel of judges selected by the Santa Clarita Valley (CA) Blues Society to be their representative at the 2023 International Blues Challenge, hosted by the Blues Foundation, in Memphis, from January 24-28, 2023 and I emerged as a SemiFinalist.  It was a true honor, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform on this international platform.  The event provided exposure and an opportunity to meet journalists, artists, agents and managers from all over the world.  Expenses were funded in part by the SCVBS.  Thank you to all who donated and supplemented that funding. 

Thank you for your interest and support of new, original and live music.   It is vital that we continue to contribute to the sustaining and enhancement of the repertoire of American music.
