Take the Blues Home with You

Have you ever come to a show at PCS and wished you could bottle up that energy and take a piece home with you? We know that once you get baptized in the Great River of Blues, as Director Randal Mylar calls it, you’ll want to keep to keep the music flowing. So for each performance of It Ain’t Nothin’ but the Blues, we’ll have a table in the lobby selling the music of various artists in the show. We’ll be open during intermission and after the show. All cds will be $20; payable by cash or check.
