About The Work Samples

The Blues

As a presenting Organization our samples all represent artist performances on our stage at festivals we have presented in the last five years.  Each video is under 4 minutes, and the total viewing time is less than 19 minutes.  This is a small sample of our work, but is a good representation of the artistic excellence and artistic merit of our project. It also represents a variety of Styles that partially define 250 Years of American Blues.
