The National Women in Blues Festival
Wilmington, N.C.: Have you ever had a good idea, but been told that no one would bother to support it? That’s what happened to Women in Blues Festival CEO and CBW (Chief Bottle Washer) Michele Seidman a few years ago. “I was told by a music representative that no one would pay to see a woman singing the blues. And here we are. . . our third year, and plans are already underway for next year’s festival,” notes Seidman. “Without the many supporters, the festival would have been a dream instead of a wonderful reality and growing sisterhood of the blues.” ....more! The National Women In Blues Festival The journey to making the National Women in Blues Festival has been interesting to say the least. I front my own blues band and had mostly male mentors so when I started going to festivals in other parts of the country I eagerly searched for women to learn from. Even at some of the biggest festivals I saw only a small hand full of women on the line up. 3rd National Women In Blues Festival, September 26th 2008 Wilmington North CarolinaMichele Seidman sent me a notice of her excellent blue festival via Facebook.
