STLBlues :: SIERRA BLUES SOCIETY’S SUNDAY BLUES JAM & GOODTIMES

ANGILA WITHERSPOON TO HOST SIERRA BLUES SOCIETY’S
SUNDAY BLUES JAM & GOODTIMES AT MAGOON’S SALOON IN POLLOCK PINES
ON MARCH 18th

March always excites us caus’ we know we’re returning to Magoon’s Saloon in Pollock Pines. For this edition of the Sunday Blues Jam & Goodtimes, the Sierra Blues Society is happy to feature Angila Witherspoon. We’ll be returning to Magoon’s, located at 6042 Pony Express Trail in Pollock Pines on Sunday, March 18th from 1:00 -6:00 PM. New owner Jeff Bolles and his staff have really become part of our family of bluesiers!

As the daughter of the late Blues/Jazz great, Jimmy Witherspoon, Angila has been around music her entire life. Raised on the road by her father, Angila had the opportunity to learn from the likes of Eric Burdon, Miles Davis, and Robben Ford. Constantly surrounded by the greatest musicians in the world, it is little wonder that Angila has spent most of her life singing. Most of Angila's experience could be thought of as on the job training and one-on-one clinics with music's luminaries. She was exposed to formal piano training at age 11. Angila began composing her own songs almost immediately, and at the age 13, she performed one of her songs with her father. From that moment on, Angila had the performing bug. Angila always attracts a list of who’s-who from the regional musical pool to back her dynamic performances and her ability to mesh with them underscores her talent!

If you have a blues band, come on down and we'll work get ya up right after the host band opens up the extravaganza, so get there and signup early! We do limit the number of bands as a unit to three so that we have enough room for all the great musicians that participate in our jams, so come early and get signed up. But please help us out by make as much use of the host band’s equipment (no complete kit changes). As always, individual artists are encouraged to come out for the jam. You never know who you might end up playing with.....could be Jeff Watson, Mick Martin or OBD!

So grab your axe and head down to Magoon’s Saloon, 6042 Pony Express Trail, Pollock Pines, CA, on Sunday March 18th. As always, admission is FREE! But donations are gratefully accepted.
