Enjoy Photos of the 2008 Evening of Art & Blues
By Photographer Michael Adams
The ABP would like to thank everyone who supported our Evening of Art and Blues fundraiser. The crowd enjoyed live blues from Willie King and the Liberators, Microwave Dave, Debbie Bond, Carroline Shines, 2BLU, Doobie “Doghouse” Wilson, Simple Interest, and the some of our very own Blues Camp kids!
The auctions were a great success thanks to the generous businesses and talented artists who donated wonderful items – particularly North River Interiors of Tuscaloosa, Picture This for outstanding framing services, and our fantastic auctioneer, Jerry Pearson!
None of this would have been possible without the sponsorships of L&N Station, Harrison Galleries, Mercedes-Benz, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, Kwik Kopy Printing, Jim Walter Resources, Stephens Insurance and Financial Services, Nick’s Kids Fund, McAbee Construction, Barkley GMC, HardSteel, J&L Signs and Stamps, Tuscaloosa Toyota, First Federal Bank, Emergi-Care Clinic, Maxx Mailing Service, Jamison, Money, Farmer & Company, Hampton Inn, OZ Records, Jim Myers Drug, Banks Quarles Pumbing, Wal-Mart on Skyland and Harry Lee Equitable Insurance Company. We also acknowledge the tremendous support we receive from the Children’s Trust Fund, the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
We would also like to thank restaurants contributing food which include Chuck’s Fish, DePalma’s, Angeline’s, Jason’s Deli, Kozy’s, McAlister’s, Edelweiss, Snap Decisions Catering, Mugshots, Fig, Evangeline’s, Mary’s Cakes and Willy T’s.
We would also like to thank our many volunteers, Dr. Buster Allaway’s UA M.S. Marketing Class, Buddy Pate, John Sikes, and a fabulous committee and Board of Directors!
The funds raised will help us continue raising awareness of Alabama’s rich Blues culture, history and our award-winning blues camps and school residencies. Please visit us online at www.alabamablues.org for more information and to find out how you can help!
