Thank You

 Central Delaware Blues Society is supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on DelawareScene.com.

In particular we would like to thank the Delaware Division of the Arts for their support of the Dustin Douglass and the Electric Gentlemen Show and the following Jams: Jimmy Pritchard Band, Gary Cogdell Band, Marke Margolies Band, Roger GIrke Band, and Joey Fulkerson Band.  Without the musicians we would not have anything!  The Delaware Division of the Arts helps make this happen!

Another Great Upgrade to CDBS' Electronic Backbone

I think most of you are aware that CDBS ticketing system was not the easiest to use nor was it the friendliest.  So, following our sister club, the Baltimore Blues Society, we are moving to a modern ticketing platform that supports non-profits.  The platform is Zeffy.  Please notice as you purchase tickets starting with the Joanna Connor Show that you will have an electronic ticket with a bar code sent to you which we can read as you enter the venue on the night of the show.  


One of the reasons that we selected Zeffy besides their ability to manage a modern event ticketing system is that they cover all the service and processing fees associated with the ticket purchase.  Yep, that is right they provide the service to us without any charges or withholds which save the Society $30-$70 per event.  So how does Zeffy stay in business? Well, they ask for a donation as the ticket purchase is processed.  This is different than how most of the ticketing systems handle fees.  These systems charge you a service fee to allow you to buy a ticket.  While Zeffy's  donation is entirely voluntary, please consider a donation to Zeffy as you check out to help keep this service viable for us.  Note that through the dropdown on the checkout page, you can change the requested amount to what is comfortable for you.  For more information on Zeffy see https://www.zeffy.com/


Also, as we make this change and some other upcoming changes to improve our interaction with you, please bear with us to work through any issues.  If you have an issue please call Jim Newill, 610-805-3315 and he will help you out.

Chris Duarte Comes Back to CDBS "Ferocious Blues"

On Aug 21st Chris comes back to CDBS....  To classify Chris Duarte simply as a Blues Man is an understatement. In his own words, “rockin’ blues” or ”punk blues” describes him best. “Ferocious blues” also fits. Legend has it that Chris will play so hard that his fingers bleed in a set. The legend is true.
