Sunday, June 13 was a notable night in the Oregon District as the Dayton Blues Society returned to Tumbleweed Connection for the monthly DBS Blues Jam.  Our new photographer, Michelle Flory, was on hand to record the event for posterity and we really appreciate her contribution to the organization.

The host band was Tim Arnold and the Temporary Saints. Their four piece band kicked off the night with a great set of Blues classics.  Tim’s dazzling guitar stylings set the tone for the jams to follow.  Mike Sonderman had his Hammond B3 organ there, as usual to spice up the numbers with crying B3 chords and every jam set was filled with punchin’, rockin’ blues.

Our thanks goes out to the Tumbleweed for having us over.
