Blues on Stage Looking for Writers

CD Reviewers Needed

Ray Stiles, website owner of Blues on Stage and member of the Greater Twin Cities Blues Society, has been involved with documentation of blues music and musicians, both nationally and locally, for more than two decades. He has extensive information available for reference on his website at: www.mnblues.com

After a short hiatus, Ray is interested in making CD reviews available on his site once again. If you like to listen to CDs and like to write reviews, Ray is looking for you to participate with CD reviews. Check out his website and let him know if you could volunteer to write a review or two.

(10/10/07)

We try to feature local musicians, clubs or music-related businesses that we "discover" that are making a contribution toward "Keeping The Blues Alive" in the Greater Twin Cities Area.
If you check our past Discoveries pages, you'll get the idea. If you have any suggestions, please contact us: info@gtcbms.org
