Hello everybody!

Well the summer is just about to begin and we're looking forward to some nice weather :)

We'd like to take a minute and express our sincere appreciation to those of you who were able to attend the June 13th show at the Barn Underground. We loved seeing you there and send our thanks to each of you.

The members Big House Blues Band would like to send our congratulations to Big Daddy's daughter Katie on her graduation from High School!


HAhahaha - look at these guys! Not sure if I should laugh or cry LOL

Katie is a VERY talented young lady and she has a bright and successful future ahead of her.

The band is excited to announce we are honored to have been selected as one of the bands performing during Muskegon's fantastic Bike Time festival in July. We've posted details below.

Don't forget about our McGraft Summer Concerts show during the "dog days" of summer as well! We badly want to see you there :)

We are also hoping we be able to make an announcement soon on an exciting and humbling blues event in September. So keep watching the website for more news on this in the coming weeks...
