Happy 2018! First off I’d like to congratulate the St. Louis Blues Society representatives at the International Blues Challenge. Torrey Casey & the Southside Hustle and the Kingdom Brothers Duo did an outstanding job representing St. Louis on the International stage. Thanks to all the fans who showed up at our local IBC Challenge, went to fundraisers and even took the trip down to Memphis! The new St. Louis Blues Society compilation CD - 17 IN 17 - is now available. This year’s CD features a whole new batch of musicians and original songs. Big thanks to Paul Niehaus, Mike Zitt, Tony Esterly and all of the musicians who participated. We very much hope you enjoy the CD and pass it on to all of your friends. Note, that if you did not receive a CD in the mail it means your membership has lapsed. Renew or sign up now to get the new CD! I also wanted to thank KDHX FM for making last year’s CD - 16 IN 16 - the most played record of the year! KDHX plays more blues music than any other station in St. Louis, so thanks to the DJs, the station, and all the listeners for putting St. Louis music first! Thanks also to everyone who showed up for our Annual Membership Meeting. We have scheduled bi-monthly Meet and Greets at the KDHX Stage in 2018. One of our goals this year is to create more opportunities for volunteers who want to get involved. With so many projects in motion we do need help with many aspects of the organization. If you’d like to get involved plan to attend the next Meet and Greet onFebruary 26 from 6-8pm or feel E-mailJeremy free to contact me directly. I'd love to hear from you!

Th is series will provide the context and tools to enable a continuing, constructive dialogue in the 12 Torrey Casey and the Southside Hustle CD Review by Michael Higgins music community and bring people together by celebrating the legacy and future of the blues in St. Louis. Conversations will be led by Dr. Rosalind (Roz) Norman, professor of business at Webster University, former National Blues Museum interpretative coordinator, member of Cinema St. Louis and other artist 15 St. Louis Musicians Directory guilds, and producer of media projects for Double Helix and various sources. Discussion panels will consist of musicians, historians, broadcasters, promoters, recording studio owners, venue managers, and community members with deep connections to the blues in St. Louis. Ample time will be allowed for audience participation in each dialogue session. Each conversation will have a diff erent focus, but all will address issues of appropriation and roadblocks for artists and advocates, and how to remove them. By organizing this program, KDHX and the St. Louis Blues Society hope to shine a light on these issues, move the conversation forward, and help us all navigate a diffi cult and sometimes uncomfortable topic. In addition to the program, there is an ongoing conversation about race and blues music in St. Louis that’s taking place at performance venues throughout the region. Spring 2018
