Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Thanks for hanging with us this year – it’s been another whirlwind of a year that took us to new heights. We’ve had a lot reviews with the help of both new Street Teamers and old friends.

The calendar is growing everyday. We partnered with the St. Louis CVC and produced the Music Guide.
Having the St. Louis CVC work with us and distribute the Live Music Guide throughout the area -the airport, vistors centers, by mail and more - is one of 2008's crowning accomplishments for STLBlues!

Earning the 2008 'Keeping The Blues Live' Award from the Blues Foundation, well that was pretty nice too!

Our STLBlues family has doubled adding Craig as our own in-house IT guru and Barrett as our legal counsel. Big Dave and I are consistently blown away by the amount of love and accolades from blues fans across the country that we receive when out promoting music or by email – thanks!

Thanks to all and to all a good night (rockin’).

-- Peace and love, Cornbread

I agree with Cornbread, it's been a great year at STLBlues. We've spread the Blues gospel as few do, we're approaching 9 million hits for 2008.

Help us in our mission, tell every band and venue you know of about the Interactive Gig Calendar

The best blues bands in the area (the world) work with us on a booking level, and that's one of the most fun tasks we do here at STLBlues.

Staff/Street Teamers:
2 new members have joined the staff of STLBlues. Craig 'CC' Caesar is now our IT/Tech partner, helping to keep the internet gears turning behind the scenes at STLBlues.net as well as offering creative consultation, audio and video production, DVD authoring, graphical design, web application development, and promotional planning. Entertainment Attorney Barrett Braun has also joined the STLBlues staff, as our legal counsel/partner.

We've added several new Street Teamers this year.
Lee "East Side Slim" Howland has become one of the best CD reviewers you'll find anywhere, with in-depth and insightful reviews! Jeff “Harpin Homer” Winders and Illinois Phil just joined the Street Team in December, and we look forward to much more from them!

Liz 'Dancing Through Life' Schneider has left the Street Team, and taken her incredible eye for beauty and photo skills to a brand new endeavor with RavenlightStudio.com. It's an amazing display of talent and beauty, and we wish her tremendous success!

Thanks to all of you for supporting STLBlues.net, come on back anytime at all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
