Fall into the blues this Sunday
With a major focus on youth, this year’s annual “Fall into the Blues” concert, set for 4 p.m. Sunday at the Genetti Hotel, 200 W. Fourth St., proves the blues is far from being a museum or nostalgia piece. In fact, it’s as vital today as it ever was. This year’s show, which is hosted every year by the Billtown Blues Association, includes V.E. Paul, Jack and Lilly, the Irving Street Blues Band and Ann Kerstetter. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Members of the association are admitted for $8 and non-members for $10. The association holds the fall concert each year to raise money to help defray the expenses of the performers, who won last year’s Billtown Blues Challenge, for their trip to Memphis next year to compete in the International Blues Challenge. This year’s winners were Jack and Lilly, who won the solo-duo category, and the Irving Street Blues Band, who won the band category. V.E. Paul and Kerstetter were challenge winners in 200.
