The Music City Blues Society in Nashville, Tennessee

Blues musicians and songwriters Les Kerr, Blue Mother Tupelo and Stan “The Man” Hedges will present The Original Blues – an Evening of All Original Blues Songs, Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at 9:00 p.m. at The Bluebird Café, 4104 Hillsboro Road, Nashville. Reservations are recommended and tickets will be available online at www.bluebirdcafe.com beginning September 2.

Among the reasons for the concert is to offer an evening of blues music not typically heard at many blues venues. Kerr and Hedges are songwriters, as are the members of Blue Mother Tupelo, Ricky and Micol Davis (pictured above). All have recorded albums of their original blues music and will perform their own compositions at the show. This will be the first time the three well-respected acts have performed together.
