October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month; the SoCal
Divas of Blues Festival is partnering with, and donating a portion of all
ticket sales, to both the National Breast Cancer
Foundation and Michelle’s Place,
a Temecula-based Breast Cancer Resource Center.
“This blues festival is unique in that we are
solely promoting the dynamic influence of women in blues music
today,” explains Andy Doty, Festival Promoter and owner of Old Town
Blues Club, the latter who are presenting the SoCal Divas of Blues
Festival. “All eight acts are fronted by female performers, with
most of the acts coming from the Southern California region.” Doty
previously presented the 1st Annual Temecula Blues Festival this past
April, also at Civic Center Plaza.
“We are thrilled to be part of the SoCal Divas
Blues Festival event in Old Town. Michelle’s Place appreciates the
support and the opportunity to reach women and their families about the
resources we provide as well as information on early detection.
And, what a great way to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month!
We look forward to the event and to the music of the SoCal Divas!” –
Kim Gerrish, Executive Director, Michelle’s Place.
“We are so grateful to have your support this
October with your upcoming Divas of Blues event. Old Town Blues Club is
going to make such an impact, providing help and inspiring hope to women
facing breast cancer – thank you!” – Michelle
Romanczukiewicz, Senior Fundraising Coordinator, National Breat Cancer
Foundation.
Eight dynamic Southern California-based female blues
artists will perform at the SoCal Divas of Blues Festival: Shari Puorto;
Casey Hensley; Shyy But Flyy; Diana Rein; Brigitte Rios Purdy; Give Me Back My Wig; Mercedes Moore; and Jade
Bennett. An After-Party at Old Town Blues Club will follow the Festival.
