Description
The Mississippi Valley Blues Society has announced a raffle on a one-of-a-kind autographed electric guitar signed by notable Blues artists such as Tab Benoit, Ronnie Baker Brooks, and Samantha Fish from the 2019 Blues Festival. All proceeds from this raffle will go to support the MVBS Blues in the Schools education outreach mission for Quad Cities area music students.
“Normally this type of musical memorabilia involves wall-hanger quality guitars, but not in this case”, said Bob Clevenstine, MVBS President, “it’s an Epiphone Special model electric guitar, and it’s a player”. This raffle package also includes a 5-watt KALA tweed battery-powered amp, plus a gig bag, strap, and cord.
“We are very excited to partner with Rhythm City Casino & Resort who will display this guitar in their main lobby during the July 16th Stevie Ray Visited performance and at the August 12th Tab Benoit performance”, said Dave Klockau with MVBS., “so please check it out at MVBS.org, and maybe you can win a piece of Quad Cities music history”. Raffle tickets are $5 or $4.25 for members.
