What a Party at the June ABS Gathering on Sunday, June 22 at Bundo’s Music Shack!
It was a little hot outside, but the crowd didn’t mind one bit as Sweet Melissa’s Blues Revue, our host band, kept everyone happy and grooving. The jammers who followed were fantastic and kept the energy high all afternoon.
We were excited to announce the winner of our t-shirt design contest – Pete Maier, who painted the winning artwork! Pete received a one-year membership extension and a “C-Note” ($100 check) for his winning design.
Sincere thanks to everyone who submitted artwork – we loved seeing all the talent and passion in our community.
A hearty thank you goes out to our wonderful hosts, Carmen and Tony, for their incredible hospitality and to the many vendors who kept us well-fed and refreshed throughout the event.
Mark your calendars! Our next gathering will be Sunday, July 20 at The Green Room in Mableton, GA. This special gathering will spotlight our youth blues performers, with the 2024 IBC Youth representative Time Crunch serving as the host band. With a focus on young talent, we encourage all the young folks to come on out and have some fun with us!
