It is comprised of entertainment industry professionals, musicians, artist, actors and generally anyone who loves music and children. The organizations mission is to preserve arts programming in our schools and pass on the culture and the traditions of American roots music. The weekend festivities will help raise funds for the Stephen Miller “Music in the Schools Program” in Brevard County Elementary Schools. This year, we have selected the Palm Bay Elementary School Music Program as the beneficiary of the Stephen Miller Memorial Biker and Blues Bash. This school has minimal instruments in their music program. Our goal is to purchase new instruments for this school, so the children can have hands on musical experiences in their classroom. Palm Bay Elementary is a title 1 school and approximately 80% of the children in this school are on subsidized lunch. The music teacher receives $1 per student per year for music supplies. Help us help this wonderful school. Stephen Miller loved kids and passing on his tradition of music to area elementary school children is a way to honor his memory and his love for traditional blues music. Steve played with many national acts including Earl Hooker, John Lee Hooker, Elvin Bishop, The Allman Brothers and Grinder Switch (to name just a few). Steve was instrumental in bringing traditional blues music to the Florida Space Coast. Steve was one of the founding members and the Hammond player for our own blues legend “The Groove Monsters”. Saturday's lineup will include a list of talented musicians, who had the privilege of performing and learning from Steve, along with national and regional artist. The Stephen Miller Memorial Biker & Blues Bash will be held at Space Coast Harley Davidson / Buell, Executive Circle at 1440 Executive Circle, just off Palm Bay Road, exit 176 & I-95 in Palm Bay, Fl. There is a $10 donation at the gate to enjoy 12 hours of non stop music. What an incredible day of blues music, paying tribute to Stephen Miller, our beloved “Grandpa Blues”. The lineup includes, The Harbor City Elementary School drum tribe starting off the day, showing what they’ve learned with their new instruments from 2006, 35 Year Rocking Blues Touring Band “The Night Hawks”, The Blues Awards, 2006 Best Contemporary Female Blues Vocalist nominee, Barbara Blue.
