You know who to vote for!! You will also receive the monthly Bluesletter for 1 year. The awards show (Crossroads will perform) will take place the 3rd week in April at The Triple Door in downtown Seattle. I will have more information on the show and a list of the other nominees soon!

The Crossroads Band's new CD, Up One Side... Down The Other, should be back from the record plant in about 2 weeks. We got Malcolm Kennedy of the Washington Blues Society a promo copy, and he already has made some very encouraging comments: "Tasty sax solos and dazzling harp lines abound, along with interplay and harmonizing, seasoned guitar playing, polished keyboards backed by a solid rhythm section and with multiple vocalists, Up One Side....Down The Other is hitting on all cylinders and I perdict it will be the hit of the year."

Crossroads has 3 March gigs in which to highlight our new recording. We hope you join us at one or more of these shows:

Saturday March 14th -The New Orleans-Seattle
Saturday March 21st -The Summit Pub- Puyallup
Saturday March 28th- Engel's Pub- Edmonds

Take care and have a great weekend!
