The 2017 International Blues Blowoff -aka the SPAH Blowoff- is once  again 
bringing a stellar lineup, including a BIG welcome to some worthy folks  
making their first appearance.  This year's rhythm section  features a former 
bass player for Taj Mahal and a past drummer with Eric  Clapton... killer 
players!  
The  IBB is open to the general public, you need not be a SPAH member in 
order  to attend.  
Tickets are on sale now at www. harmonicaplanet.com/ibb-tickets  The 
limited number of VIP seats are  expected to sell out well before the day of, buy 
soon as possible if you want  them.  Advance purchase gains early entry 
(best choice of seats) for either  section. Tickets will also be  available at 
the door, but doubtful any VIP seats will remain available the  day of.  
There will be a nice variety of  wraps/sandwiches/fruit/soup/salad/snacks 
and beverages, as well as a bar  serving beer, wine and cocktails.  Come 
hungry and get something directly in the showroom, in order to help cover the 
food sales  minimums imposed by the catering service.  
Lineup and other details at www. harmonicaplanet.com/blues-blowoff   
6pm Tuesday, Aug 15 in the main ballroom of the Downtown Hyatt  Regency.   
100 E 2nd St, Tulsa,  Oklahoma, same hotel as the SPAH convention.    
For first timers... The IBB is a separately produced  sister event to SPAH, 
admission is not included with SPAH  registration.  The IBB is  a highly 
recommended "Bucket List" event for any blues fan, many  come to SPAH a day or 
two earlier then they would otherwise in  order to hang with other 
attendees, see the host city, and  to catch this show before the main action at the 
convention heats up  on Wednesday.
