The Grand County Blues Society in the Mary Jane Parade, downtown Winter Park. Featuring John Catt and Cassidi Peterson. Grand County Blues Society — Our dream in creating this local Society is to share National and International Blues Recording Artists with Grand County. We bring top quality Blues bands to Grand County on a regular basis (at least monthly). We also provide education about Blues music thru a Blues in the Schools program. As a 501(c3), the society is funded by Membership dues as well as fees received for attendance at society events and grants received by the society. Membership dues go towards guaranteeing you these great, quality artists, a bi-monthly ezine, maintenance of our website and festivals. Join us for the best BLUES SHOWS in the USA this ski season. Our Schedules are listed at: http://www.myspace.com/grandblues
