'Blues To Do Live' coming to the Feedback Lounge
Sat, 12/28/2013
A new musical series will begin at the Feedback Lounge Jan. 7 at 8 pm called BLUES TO DO LIVE. The shows will be recorded for television and streamed live on the internet, every Tuesday night.
The show is an outgrowth of a 20 year history of northwest blues music from BluesToDo, produced by Marlee Walker. The show has had ten years of Public Access Television exposure as well. A new website, mobile app, and more are in the works.
Here are the scheduled acts:
