The experience of seeing top blues artists at a very low price, cheaper than some cover charges to other local blues clubs is great. Many of these acts play in other cities for $20 per ticket.

The WRKR Budweiser Blues Series has been keeping Southwest Michigan entertained for 11 years now. The series this year is proud to have five nominees for the 2006 Blues Music Awards, formerly known as the W.C. Handy Awards.

Definitely buy a season pass. If you have a WRKR Rocker Club card the series is only $60. That means your ticket price per event is under $9.
