KEITH ROBINSON'S CELEBRATED 60TH AT THE SHELDON

From the St. Louis Blues Society 'Bluesletter'
- Anybody who is familiar with the St. Louis blues music scene must surely be familiar with Keith Robinson. Whether they know him by name or not, Keith is everywhere. He can frequently be found drumming behind major area acts such as Albert King, Arthur Williams, Barbara Carr, Boo Boo Davis, and oh yeah, Chuck Berry. Robinson was a regular member of Berry’s band for well over a decade.

You already know that St. Louis Blues is world class, and has a deep Blues heritage, just like the
King Biscuit Blues Festival! The name of the festival comes from King Biscuit Time, which was the longest running radio show. Sonny Boy Williamson II, Robert Lockwood Jr. and other musicians played live on KFFA every weekday, pausing for King Biscuit flour commercials and announcements of their next night time performances (meet Sonny Boy Williamson 1).

That world class St. Louis sound was at the 2023 King Biscuit, as
Boo Boo Davis band, the Renee Smith band, the DT Triplett band, and Skeet Rodgers and the Inner City Band showed up and brought some of the finest STL Blues to the stage!

• KDHX fires 10 more volunteer DJs as leaders try to assert control over station in turmoil. Read the entire STLNPR article here.

Save KDHX RadioThis is a situation where a nonprofit has morphed into a creature that is 180 degrees opposite of the intentions, desires and profile that the founders of this radio station wanted,” said Tom “Papa” Ray, whose show “Soul Selector” was a staple of KDHX programing for decades. The St. Louis Media Hall of Fame inducted Ray in 2022.

“They want to cast the people that built [KDHX] aside to find a new audience,” said Andrea “Drea” Stein, who was removed from her show in August after criticizing the station on social media and declaring that she would stop donating until she saw big changes. “And when they keep talking about diversity, equity and inclusion — I feel like I've earned my equity. And I also don't feel very included,” Stein added.

The Soulard B3 Festival is behind us, but it won't soon be fogotten! It was an amazing event filled with the world class musicians of STL, along with great food and brews. 2023 kicked off with the Normandy Vikings leading a Second Line through Soulard, honoring Soulard musician Tom Hall.

Marsha Evans
So many activities filled the day, like the Plein Air Art contest, the craft beer tasting, the Kids Zone events, art vendor village, and Brushes and Blues. The Plaza stage started when the Bud Light stage took a break, so the music went all day long.
The 2023 Soulard B3 Festival was in honor of, and in remembrance of beloved St. Louis musicians Tom Hall, Roland Johnson, David Dee and Arthur Williams.

W.C. Handy, the 'Father of the Blues'
W.C. Handy, often referred to as the Father of the Blues, first published "St. Louis Blues," his most famous composition, in 1914. The song was allegedly inspired by his chance meeting with a woman who walked the streets of St. Louis tormented by her husband's absence, wailing "my man's got a heartlike a rock cast in the sea'

Artist Carol Boss"Expression of the Blues", by St. Louisian Carol Boss!

It features a thematic collection of portraitures of various blues musicians painted by Carol Boss.

These likenesses are painted on vintage ceiling tiles and include King Biscuit Blues Festival regulars like James "SuperChikan" Johnson and Larry McCrary.

On November 28th, 2016, Johnnie 'B. Goode' Johnson was posthumously honored with the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor, at a ceremony held at the National Blues Museum. There was a full room of family and friends on hand to share in this occasion.



Presenting the medal was Senator McCaskill, and accepting the honor, his widow Frances Johnson. You see, in addition to being a Blues pioneer, Johnnie was also a Montford Point Marine, the African-American Marine unit that endured racism and inspired social change while integrating the previously all-white Marine Corps during World War II.


Eleven years after their last studio album, the forever Rolling Stones are back once again with "Blue and Lonesome", a tribute to the blues legends who forged the band's soul.

"This album is a homage to our favourites, people that kicked us off in playing music, that was the reason we started a band," charismatic frontman Mick Jagger recently told The New York Times newspaper. "We were proselytisers of blues music; that's what we're still doing."

The world, not just Blues music, lost a great woman with the passing of Candye Kane. She gifted so many with the magic she could bring to a room, and the friends she made along her journey.

Blues music education
Blues is an American art form, and part of what we do at STLBlues is share Blues music in a variety of ways. From reaching countries like Chile & Nigeria through 'America's Corners', to our festival & instrument workshops, lectures and performances! Blues in the Schools (BITS) is one of our favorite events, as it holds our record attendance -- 1,800 kids on one day!

Blues education
crosses the disciplines of history, geography, social studies, and of course, music. Who knows...beyond creating the next generation of Blues music fans & helping to keep the Blues alive, we may even spark the next Etta James or B.B. King!

No matter what your event, contact us today at stlouisblues@swbell.net to add some Blues power! We work with the finest performers and educators in St. Louis, and across the nation.

'The Blues Highway', featuring St. Louis Blues - and the Fab Foehners




"The Blues in the Schools program conducted by Dave Beardsley was a 'Train the Trainer' workshop for our Southern CORE Conference. Dave encompassed several disciplines in his presentation, from history to geography, and used Blues music to take the viewer on a timeline from the late 1800's up to today. Educational and entertaining!"
