The Southwest Florida Blues Society has tapped The Marty Stokes Band to represent the region at the 33rd International Blues Challenge later this month in Memphis, TN.
Acts can only perform at the challenge if they're sponsored by one of the more than 200 local blues organizations across the country.
Monday at 1:30 p.m. on Gulf Coast Live, Marty Stokes brings his guitar along for an acoustic session and conversation about the blues in Southwest Florida, what inspires him to make his music, and what to expect when the band heads to the Blues Challenge in Memphis.
