Thank you Ed! for making our Spring Blues Breakout at Thirsty's Tavern a great success yesterday.
When you combine such a supportive tavern owner with top notch musicians, an extra special group of helpers, and a super nice crowd, you can't help but have a great little event!.
We appreciate you!

Support new bands.

We have had so many bands volunteer to play our benefit for the Blues On The Bridge.
This is a pretty good indicator of how important the event is to the musicians and the City of Binghamton.
We love you all.
But, there is only so much time on one day.
Thank you so much for reaching out to us.
'Blues Spring Breakout!'
Thirsty's, Sunday, May 17th
2-9, or when Ed kicks us out.
Side note -
Vendors, we're starting from scratch, and still figuring it out.
Give us a couple weeks.
Peace, out.

Randy McStine and the Fabulous Mayo Brothers will rip a set at our Spring Blues Breakout, Sun. May 17th.
Thirsty's..
Unbelievable rocking blues.
Randy has played almost every Blues On The Bridge, except when he's doing Radio City Music Hall, or touring Europe.
God bless him.

As most of you know, Tommy is no longer able to work his magic for Blues On The Bridge.
We miss him more than anything.
So basically, we have to start from scratch again.
With that in mind, We're going to try pull off a 'Spring Blues Breakout'
Thirsty's, Binghamton, NY.
Sunday, May 17th, 2-8 pm.
Scheduled to appear;
Nate Gross
Junkyard Heights
The Gravelding Brothers
Pasty White and Double Wide.
The Heatseekers.
We'll have a couple more acts, the bands are checking to see if their guys are available.
As always 'line up subject to change'.
Raffles, 50/50's, classic tee shirt giveaways, ect, ect...
We'll see how it goes, then go from there.
This will mark 25 years, if we can pull it off.
This page is a good place to catch updates.
Feel free to share this.
Keep rocking.
