Sunday Blues & Gratitude 💙🎶

Sundays are for slowing down, turning up the music, and appreciating the people in our community.

At Southern Idaho Blues Society, we’re grateful for every member, musician, volunteer, venue, and fan who helps build this amazing blues community.

From the legends like Muddy Waters and B.B. King to today’s modern blues artists like Anthony Gomes, the blues continues to connect us, heal us, and move us.

Today we’re celebrating one of the people who helped build the Southern Idaho Blues Society from the ground up—Andy Lindquist. 🎉🎶

As a founding member, Andy’s passion, dedication, and love for the blues have helped shape this community into what it is today. From behind the drums to behind the scenes, his heart has always been in the music and the mission.

Simply put… we couldn’t have done it without you, Andy.

Happy Birthday, and thank you for everything you’ve done to keep the blues alive in Southern Idaho. Wishing you a day filled with great music, good friends, and all the love you deserve. 💙

🎸 Blues News Today | June 12, 2026 🎸

The blues world is staying busy this summer, and there’s a lot to be excited about.

At 89 years old, Buddy Guy continues proving why he’s one of the greatest living blues legends. After taking home another Grammy earlier this year, he remains a direct connection to the golden age of Chicago blues, having influenced everyone from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Meanwhile, Tedeschi Trucks Band continues drawing praise for blending blues, soul, gospel, and southern rock into something uniquely powerful. Their live shows remain some of the hottest tickets in roots music.

Modern blues stars are keeping the genre moving forward. Samantha Fish keeps pushing boundaries with her fierce guitar work and genre-bending sound, while Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram continues carrying the torch for the next generation with jaw-dropping performances rooted in Delta tradition and modern blues-rock energy.

One trend promoters are noticing in 2026: fans are showing up for authentic live music experiences. Blues audiences are responding especially well to shows pairing national touring artists with strong local openers—helping build community while introducing audiences to new talent.

That’s something we believe in deeply here at the Southern Idaho Blues Society. The blues isn’t just history—it’s alive right now, on stages big and small, from Chicago to Twin Falls.

Every jam, every concert, and every packed room helps keep this music alive.

Today we remember the legendary Howlin’ Wolf, born June 10, 1910.

With a voice that could shake the walls and a presence that commanded every stage, Howlin’ Wolf helped define Chicago blues and inspired generations of musicians who followed. Songs like “Smokestack Lightnin’,” “Killing Floor,” and “Spoonful” remain essential chapters in the story of the blues.

His influence can be heard in rock, blues, and soul music to this day. More than a performer, he was a force of nature whose music carried the raw emotion, power, and authenticity that make the blues timeless.

His voice may be gone, but his howl still echoes through every blues club, every guitar riff, and every musician keeping the tradition alive.

🎵 Turn up some Howlin’ Wolf today and celebrate one of the true giants of the blues.

Today, we remember James Blood Ulmer, a fearless innovator whose music pushed the blues into new territory while honoring its roots.

Blending blues, jazz, funk, and soul, Ulmer created a sound that was uniquely his own and inspired generations of musicians to follow their own path. His artistry proved that the blues is a living, evolving tradition—one that thrives through creativity and authenticity.

Thank you for the music, the innovation, and the legacy you leave behind.

Rest in peace, James Blood Ulmer.
