The nonprofit organization President Paul Toscano said, “The year 2020 started off with great promise. In January we were inducted as an affiliate of the Blues Foundation, planning was in the works for the 2020 HVBS Local Blues Challenge ”¦ (and more) when the pandemic shut everything down.”
Not to be discouraged by Covid board members continued their monthly meetings via Zoom and voted unanimously to produce a compilation CD of original content.
“We are grateful for all music contributions and are extremely proud of this album. This CD showcases a wealth of talent and includes some of the best the Hudson Valley has to offer,” said board member Hillary Fontana.
