Recognizing the large number of very talented musicians from Sault Ste. Marie that have played over the past 50+ years, the Sault Blues Society is interested in collecting information on the history of the blues in Sault Ste. Marie.
Anyone willing to share information, stories or images regarding blues music (past and present) in the Soo is encouraged to forward it to Ted at: wallfe@shaw.ca |
