Happy Birthday OCBS!
Orange County Blues Society First
Anniversary Party/Blues Jam
Sunday, May 19 At Main
Street Restaurant In Yorba Linda
(Yorba Linda, Calif.) - Hard to believe it's been one year
since Papa J (Jeff Hudson) created the Orange County Blues Society (OCBS), in large part
to fill a void in the Blues scene in the area known here in Southern California
as the "Orange Curtain" (Orange County).
To celebrate the occasion, OCBS is throwing a One-Year Anniversary Party and Blues Jam this Sunday, May 19 at Main Street Restaurant, 4902 Main St., Yorba Linda. 2-6 p.m. Free to the public. Info: (714) 328-9375 or https://www.facebook.com/OrangeCountyBluesSociety?fref=ts.
The OCBS has grown steadily since its debut last year, with growing recognition from some of the finest blues musicians in Southern California - including an interview with harp great Rod Piazza in the most recent OCBS newsletter.

Blues harpist-vocalist Papa J
(a/k/a/ Jeffrey Hudson) has been one of the hardest-working and most influential
people on the Orange County blues scene for the better part of the last two
decades, performing first with Blues Gone South and most recently, with Papa J
and Friends - the latter who released 2011's well-received album, The Big
Show (Houndog Records). Last August Papa J and the Orange County
Blues Society - of which he is president and founder - produced several
successful multi-band events including The Muck Roots Blues Revue at the
Muckenthaler Cultural Center in Fullerton; and the Real Blues Festival of
Orange County 3.
