Blues is celebrated at the White House! President Barack Obama presented an evening honoring the blues as part of Black History Month. Many aspects of the blues and it's popular crossover were featured and the artist's included were B.B. King, Mick Jagger, Buddy Guy, Shemekia Copeland, Trombone Shorty, Warren Haynes, Jeff Beck, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, Gary Clark, Jr. and a house band led by Booker T (of Booker T. and the MGs fame). President Obama even joined in for a few lines of "Sweet Home Chicago"! Both Etta James and Hubert Sumlin were memorialized. (excerpted from the newsletter of Bob Corritore)
