Very impressive. === Please note that it was STEVE HINRICHS who performed with CHRIS BIGGS last Oct at the Classic Bean. (not Steve Henrichs) === Leaving for Memphis Jan 20 thru 23 for International Blues Challenge, Josh Vowell and The Rumble and The Nick Hern band Youth Showcase sponsored by Topeka Blues Society. Suki has been asked to be a judge in Memphis for the IBC. === Blues lovers... Happy New Year 2010! We are truly blessed to have another year at Uncle Bo’s. Going on this journey with Uncle Bo’s, the Topeka Blues Society and being able to bring music to Topeka has been the continuation of a life-long endeavor for me and I cherish every moment. Hearing the applause, seeing the dance floor filled...the conga lines...peoples eyes lighting up, standing up and yelling for more...it don’t get no better than that. I truly get to follow my path. A big thank you to the crew at Ramada Convention Center...and it couldn’t be like it is if it weren’t for the Bo’s Blues Babes. The Topeka Blues Society with Josh Vowell & the Rumble and Youth Showcase winners The Nick Hern Band are headed to Memphis, January 20-23. It will be the first time Topeka’s own IBC winners will compete on the world-wide blues stage. I am sure there will be stories to tell . Happy New Year to all. Now let’s kick it into gear for the new year, here comes the party Check out www.unclebos.com for upcoming schedule. Suki === Greetings!
