Starting this month, Oskar Blues Brewery will begin supplying the
custom-made distiller's wash for Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, the
pioneering micro distiller located in Denver, Colorado.
Oskar Blues will craft about 3000 gallons of Stranahan's wash each week
in its Longmont facility. Stranahan's will purchase the wash and truck
it by food-grade tanker to its Denver distillery.
"This is a very big deal for us," says Oskar Blues founder Dale
Katechis. "Jess and his team are whiskey mavericks, they're
doing for whiskey what craft brewers have done for beer. They've proven
that with guts, talent and a blind eye to the status quo, one can make
whiskey as good as any out there."

Callier is not coming to Colorado) but Mr. Fabulous better known as Rex
Peoples and X-factr www.myspace.com/rexpeoplesxfactr have
agreed to play their great Blues & R&B for us that night. Rex
has a voice that is gospel drenched and oh so pleasing and the band is
very tight and danceable.
Saturday the 7th will feature Mary Russell and her blues bandwww.maryjonesrussell.com originally
from Texas Mary started singing at an early age. Mary is more than
capable of singing Blues or Country but this band will mostly play hard
driving blues for you this night, but don't be surprised if country
style tunes sneak into her sets. What a voice!!.
The next weekend we will see two great female blues singers who just
happen to be playing the Greeley blues festival, Delores Scott
from Chicago and the Colorado All Stars will be here on the 13th.
Delores has sung on over 50 Chicago Blues albums and toured and sang

the world is going to be at Oskars on Friday June 20th Mr. Terry Evans www.myspace.com/terryevansblues Terry

the stage. We will be starting at 8:30pm and going all the way to
1:30am due to the amount of gals and music this night. If you caught
the last one I don't have to tell you the estrogen will be raging and
the music very satisfying. This night is also a fund-raiser by Jodi
Woodward for the wonderful Candye Kane who is recovering from cancer,
with no insurance, please attend and contribute.
Well stand back and get ready for the return of your favorite
blues/rocker Jason Ricci & New Blood www.jasonricci.com if
you have seen Jason I don't have to tell you it will be an event unlike
any other show. If you have not seen Jason you need to experience one
of the wildest and best shows out there. Not only a great singer and
harmonica player (bar none), but also a great songwriter with more
energy than any player to ever hit the stage at Oskar Blues. But don't
take my word for it just ask any one who has seen him perform and
better yet get yourself an early ticket and be there, you won't be
disappointed.
Saturday the 28th ends the weekends with the high-energy party band the Informants www.theinformants.com recently
named the best bar band by Westword for 2008, They are a bit nasty and
loads of fun with a fabulous lead singer and great horn section. It's
going to be wild so be ready. June's calendar is over the top with a
great wide variety of music.
