WE HAVE A WINNER! Empirical Truth wins 2019 Best CD.

A New Place to Play

The Long Island Blues Society is working with  one of our sponsors, All Music inc. in Plainview, on a monthly jam (first one is this Friday, Dec. 6) at 100 Terminal Drive in Plainview.

It doesn't cost anything, just come down and play. It's a chance to meet new players, reconnect with old friends, try out a new song or lick or just hang out with a bunch of people that like music. It's an early start (5 pm) and runs 'tll we're done.

This will be a monthly thing  o let's try to kick it off with a bang!

You don't have to be a Blues Society member to play, so come on down and bring your friends.

Check the flyer above for info.
