GOOD TIMES >>>

Held every year in mid July, The Tacoma Old Town Music Festival - formerly the Old Town Blues Festival - crams around 20 blues-ish bands into a full day of wall-to-wall music. It kicked off yesterday morning with BluesBerry pancake breakfast featuring music by Mark DuFresne with Annieville Blues, featured surprise sets from Al Earick, Billy Stoops, Mark Riley, and Billy Farmer in the afternoon, and ended with interesting dance moves in front of the New Blues Brothers Band inside the Slavonian Hall.

If you didn't get a chance to drop dollars into the pink boots - money earmarked for the benefiting Breast Cancer Resource Center - please do so right here. Yes, organizers Ted Brown and Mike Mitchell strive hard to present a kickass blues show, but they'd give it all up if it meant they could generate more money in a different fashion for the Breast Cancer Resource Center, an organization they truly believe in.
