HBS is so very proud to partner with KPFT in "KEEPING THE BLUES ALIVE" in Houston, TX. In honor of the DJ's, HBS will acknowledge the winners on Thursday, February 16th at Cosmos Cafe, with entertainment provided by 2006 International Blues Winner, Joey Gilmore. Come out that evening for a great night of blues. Go to Calendar of Events for details.

I am happy to see the recognition for KPFT. We are lucky to have a Radio Station that provides Blues Programming and I take my hat off to all the Volenteers that make it possible. Good Job.
