EASTER SUNDAY TELETHON - Mark Your Calendars

BAHS is an organization with a simple mission: produce live blues music events that promote the collection and distribution of non-perishable food to the hungry while supporting, promoting and preserving the blues in the communities we serve. Unfortunately, in the current Pandemic conditions globally, all opportunities to gather together to celebrate blues have ceased. We can not continue our mission without blues.

For this reason, we ask you to join us on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020 from 10AM to 6PM as we gather together LIVE online from the comfort of our homes to celebrate the blues and continue to fight to end hunger, with your help.
