Windy City Blues Society Stage 2016

WE are raising money to pay musicians that play our stage  and  cover the cost to operate the Windy City Blues Society Street Stage  at the 2016 Chicago Blues Fest.  The WCBS Street Stage provides about 25% of all the live performances at the Chicago Blues Fest. The City of Chicago provides ZERO funding for our stage but does provide  tents and electricity. They also give us about 1 parking pass per act, the other 80, or  so , musicians have to pay for their own parking. Please donate.
