When I started at WGBH in 1978, the blues calendar for the week was about a page long. I used to read it on the air at midnight. Well, as the years went by, the number of blues bands and the number of clubs with blues shows grew and grew. So to make sure people can get the whole calendar if they want it, I make it available by email.
Some people send their calendars late for being included on the first.
Information for this calendar is supplied by the bands and clubs who are listed. Mai Cramer takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information in the calendar. And speaking of regularly scheduled events, a lot of these listings have been on the calendar for a really long time. People remember to tell me when they get a gig, but often forget to tell me when a gig has ended. I've tried to list start times for dates that start earlier.
