Good morning! This is not an official release but just notes from a board member to keep you updated on what is going on with KBBF this year. I know a lot of people are asking questions about whether or not we are having a festival. Here is a short answer. We are currently working on plans for this years festival. The board has met multiple times this month working hard to figure out finances and a feasible budget for this year. Several of our grants were put on hold (federal grants). Our festival relies on this money to operate along with sponsors and donations. We are working on a plan to reduce the days of this years festival and also lower the ticket prices as well. We are hoping for Friday and Saturday music with a possible jam on Thursday. We will only have one stage- the Main stage. The Robert Lockwood stage will be merged with the main stage this year. This year’s festival is going to take all of us coming together for the love of blues. We need you- our blues family- to help and support us during this tough year. All of us love this festival so much and want it to continue. If you have any feedback please post below. Feedback is always welcome from our blues family. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or donor please let us know. All donations are tax deductible as well.  We will be posting links for PayPal and Venmo very soon. Currently our awesome fundraiser ladies- Ms Munnie, Ms  Bernadette and Ms Joe will be reaching out to past and new sponsors to get pledges so we will have an idea of an official budget. Once we have the budget, the music will follow. We will have to work within the realm of the donations. We should be making an official announcement mid May. And shortly after that we should be announcing a lineup (hopefully) Stay tuned!! Thank you all for your love of blues and the King Biscuit! Leslie Galloway SBBS Board Member (fb)
