2012 Press Clippings

The reviews are coming in and they're all grrreat. But you knew they would be. First hers's one from:

Blues Blast Magazine

Even though our Michigan winter was pretty mild by most standards, I was ready for some sun and warmer temps. So my wife and I set out for the land of orange juice and snow birds. The Bonita Blues Festival is not a huge festival by any stretch and that’s exactly what we were looking for. The one thing that really impresses me is that the festival is run by a non-profit and all funds (after expenses) are donated to various local charities. The Bonita Springs Charitable Foundation is host and organizer and this year’s profits were going to Music for Minors, the Wounded Warrior Project, The Bonita Springs Assistance Office and new for this year is the Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida Music Therapy. I mean how cool is it when the foundation putting on the festival starts their own blues society, the Southwest Florida Blues Society. Very cool! I think its called dedication to the blues.

"... If your suffering for the winter blues and want to go where the breeze is warm, the people friendly and the music great…….this is the place...."
