Non-profit Arts Organization Celebrates 30 Years Of The Blues
The Columbus Blues Alliance presents an evening with Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials, Hadden Sayers, and Sean Carney’s Columbus All-Stars, as well as Hall of Fame induction ceremony
Founded on October 8, 1989 with the mission to “further the appreciation, recognition, and acceptance of the blues as a great American musical idiom”, the Columbus Blues Alliance strives to meet that
challenge by presenting multiple “Blues In The Schools” programs for Columbus students, sending
representatives to 20 International Blues Challenges in Memphis, holding more than 15
all-traditional-and-acoustic blues festivals (one of only a handful in the world), and helping to organize and promote several other local and regional blues festivals.
To honor its first 30 years, the CBA will hold its 30th Anniversary Celebration at the historic Lincoln
Theater (769 East Long St.) on Sunday October 6, 2019. The event opens with Blues Music Award
nominee Hadden Sayers, followed by headliner and Chicago legends, Lil’ Ed and The Blues Imperials.
The evening ends with some of the Columbus area’s finest artists, led by International Blues Challenge winner Sean Carney.
In between performances the Columbus Blues Alliance will formally induct members to its rejuvenated
Columbus Blues Alliance Hall of Fame; a program that honors individuals, chosen by CBA members, who have made important contributions to the Columbus blues community. In addition to honoring current members Christine Kittrell and Willie Pooch, these outstanding people will be inducted:
● Richard B Boals
● Ray Fuller
● Teeny Tucker
● JT Lotozo
● David West
● Sean Carney
● Herb Sollars
● Bruce Nutt
● Rober Hughes
● Dan Axt
