Description:

We're a registered non-profit group dedicated to community betterment through the power of music. Our second annual benefit concert took place at Memorial Park in Durand, Wisconsin on August 1 & 2 of 2009, and by all accounts was a resounding success. Fifteen blues acts from the Midwest and beyond participated in our first two-day festival. Their generosity, and yours, netted over $3200 in cash donations and almost 1200 pounds of food and supplies for the Pepin County food pantry.

Next year's event is in the planning stages and will be held August 7 & 8, once again in Memorial Park here in Durand. Visit the Event page for this years schedule.

There are a few souvenir caps and shirts left from the 2nd Annual Blues on the Chippewa festival, so if you didn't buy one at the show you can contact BOTC president Rob Edwards to get yours today.

We'd like to extend our gratitude to the musicians, sponsors, volunteers, and you for your support. Stay tuned here for updates as the web site gets a facelift and preparations for the Third Annual Blues on the Chippewa festival begin to take shape. Many thanks to you all and we hope to see you here next summer for BOTC3.



Blues on the Chippewa is a chance for a lot of us to do a little something for the community,' Edwards continues, 'and we hope to use the event on behalf of other worthy causes in years to come.'

Blues on the Chippewa is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing positive change through the power of music.
