Hello faithful WIB fans! Happy New Year and may 2012 bring peace and prosperity!
I am sending a note to say thank you for your support over the past few years. Without you we couldn’t have received our first CD which is now to become a permanent fixture in the Manitoba Music Museum as the first of its kind! We couldn't have received global airplay, and local television and radio exposure, putting our Manitoba blues women on the map! We could not have had the pleasure of performing in front of an amazing blues-supporting audience such as you! We know you like to listen and this is what gives us opportunity and gives us the inspiration to give our best. Thank you for listening and supporting us, and we continue to evolve because of the opportunity!
Coming up Saturday March 24th, once again at the Windsor Hotel, the second Women in Blues CD Release features Beausejour’s award winning harmonica and singer Tracy K and her Right Hand Band, Winnipeg’s blues vocalist Kathy Kennedy and her blues band, Interlake’s songbird Angel Calnek and Hillbilly Burlesque, and The Pas’ guitar woman Claire Bestland and her trio!
I am working hard to package the new CD up before our deadline and will have another small fundraiser. It will display live performances from October 2010 and some recent recordings as well! On January 28 at the Windsor, $10 will get you a variety of musicians and a great time! I hope you will be there to help make this dream a reality for us once again!
Tickets will be at the door only.

WIB is also seeking board members to build a bigger and better show, and to support not only local musicians, but bring in national and international WIB headliners in the future! Positions for the board such as:

I would also like to see support for different causes in Winnipeg as we grow!
Experience of any kind is beneficial, and genuine interest to the evolution of these concerts is an asset!
Sincerely,
Kathy Kennedy
