Chet Cannon & the Committee Returns to San Felipe!

5th Annual International Blues Arts Fiesta is gearing up to rock the Baja on March 26, 2011. The international humanitarian concert  is set in funky & fun San Felipe ~ just 120 miles south of Mexicali. The fine newly repaired smooth roads will take you safely to Mexican blue bird skies and gin green seas, which frame the stage in San Felipe, Mexico.  And we heartily welcome Chet Cannon & the Committee back to our friendly blues venue as returning musical artists  Chet and the gang are real friends of our Baja Norte event ~ not only because of the wow energy during performance, but also because of the deep humanitarian spirit that is Chet & the Committee. Chet gets it done on stage AND quietly behind the scenes to benefit many who need a real community's help to make things better.  Can you think of a better place to be for a spring fling, than safe, affordable, and close San Felipe on the mesmerizing Sea of Cortez?  Get tickets now while they last, cuz buzz grows at press time. So mark your calendars for March 26, 2011 because the premier concert and regional fund-raising event is coming up fast. San Felipe's 5th Annual International Blues & Arts Fiesta is an all day outdoor concert and art extravaganza, and Chet & the Committee's ripping style is guaranteed to rock your socks off.  Audiences know Chet's good time blues and swing  rockin' boogie and outrageous connections with the appreciative audiences, will be unforgettable.

More FYI:  Chet Cannon is a self described terminal blues fan.  Chet once attended 26 blues shows in 29 days and has been diggin' the blues since the 1970's.  Young Chet developed his voice from a young age in church, and then singing along with Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley on the radio.  Chet & the Committee's performances all around Southern California are the stuff of legend, and the band is a mainstay favorite in the San Diego area.  Chet & the Committee have been nominated for prestigious blues awards and their latest blues record aptly is nicely titled, "I'll be down in San Felipe! ~ The Official Bootleg" was nominated for best blues album of 2010.  Chet pours his heart and soul into every live show and audiences respond with over the top good vibe, cheers, and dancin' in the aisles, or in San Felipe's case, the warm sand.

The 5th Annual International Blues & Arts Fiesta is the coolest of the west coast blues scene menu. We want you in safe, affordable San Felipe for this party.  Not only Chet & the Committee ~ we have a line up that is stellar. Jaw dropping talent!  Mexican / American blues rock and roll, Afro-Cuban rhythm, melodic power fusion, and the best and brightest.... all converge at the base of saturated pastel mountains watching the shimmering Sea of Cortez. The San Felipe Lions Club produces this annual event which raises critical funding for local humanitarian work.  Local recipients include schools, medical services, eye exam clinics, the new orphanages, and more. Funds go directly to those in need.  The energy of the musicians, visual artists, audience, and all our supporters hits a critical mass that day and we celebrate the best in all of us.  "Changing Lives Through Music and Art" is the mission of the event and it all happens at the 5th Annual International Blues & Arts Fiesta in San Felipe!
