Blues in Town on Saturday, August 9, 2025
Dear Members and Guests,
We invite you to join us on Saturday, August 9 for an evening of down-home blues music and lots of fun, as a cooperative effort between our club and Blues in Town Esslingen e.V..
The Blues Base in Wernau, Clubhouse of Blues in Town, will open its doors exclusively for our club. The House Band of Blues in Town will entertain us with a concert of Blues and Blues-Rock music.
The doors at the Blues Base in Wernau ( see directions >>) will open for us at 18:30 hours.
There will be a buffet table set up with light food, and a tip jar to reimburse those who prepared the buffet. Drinks of all kinds will also be available at the bar – take what you want out of the fridge, mark with a pen on the drink list what you took, and place your money in the cash box – honor system (bring small change).
You have until 19:15 hours to gather, mingle, get your drinks and snacks, and find your seat.
The entertainment will begin at 19:15 sharp with opening remarks from your Club President and introduction of the House Music Band. The Band will play from 19:30 hours until 21:00 hours with a short break. Following the concert, you are welcome to stay and chat with club and band members.
Blues in Town Esslingen is dedicated to making Blues Music better known and enjoyed. They offer monthly concerts with regional and international bands in their clubhouse, a variety of workshops for amateur musicians, and opportunities to play or enjoy blues music (www.bluesintown.de). The House Music Band are a group of amateurs who come together every two weeks to jam, and we make occasional appearances as a band. This special concert is just for the GAC 1948 Stuttgart! Your intrepid President plays in the rhythm section of the band and sings a little as well. You will not want to miss this evening of music, togetherness, and great good fun!
Entry Cost: 10 € for members; 20 € for non-members.
Pay into the tip jar for your food, and the cash box for your drinks at the bar.
We kindly ask for upfront payment. After confirmation of your sign-up, we will send you the payment information. After deducting our costs, all entrance fees collected will be donated to Blues in Town.
