Fundraising efforts continue for the TJ Wong Trio and Andrew Matthews as they prepare to represent the Pacific Northwest in the Blues Foundation’s “International Blues Challenge”, taking place in Memphis TN January ‘23. The TJ Wong trio will be the Cascade Blues Association competing representative, having won the “Journey To Memphis“ competition last July, and Andrew Matthews will be the CBA youth representative.
Your support of these young musicians is a direct investment in the future of the blues genre. There are many ways you can contribute to help them on this journey.
Through the Lighting In A Bottle records “donation portal”, you can contribute directly to the band to help offset flight and lodging expenses.
Via PayPal and Venmo, you can make direct donations to feed the artists on their trip.
