Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes local couples for their sponsorship of the annual Barbecue and Blues fundraiser. This year’s event is sponsored by Matt & Angie Arnold, Tom & Jennifer Bish, Wayne & Sharon Deschambeau, George & Becky Luce and Dr. Robert & Jean McLear and will take place at Turtle Creek Golf Course, 6545 St. Rt. 36 E., Greenville, Ohio, on Friday, July 11 at 6:30 PM; this outdoor event is casual with great food, drinks, and music!

“DCCA is fortunate to be part of a community where individuals help make Darke County a great place to live,” DCCA’s Executive Director Andrea Jordan stated. The sponsorships will cover the cost of the entertainment allowing the ticket monies generated from Barbecue and Blues to help offset the costs of presenting high quality performing artists throughout DCCA’s upcoming 2014-2015 season. “Local support of fundraising events is greatly appreciated and enables DCCA to continue encouraging cultural enrichment in Darke County and to offer opportunities for learning and growing through the arts,” concluded Jordan.

Erwin Brothers will be providing the stage for the evening and Turtle Creek will have BBQ and drinks for purchase. As well as providing a perfect setting for an enjoyable outdoor concert, featuring music by Cincinnati-based Rhythm Jones a “swamp water rock/funk/R & B-based blues band made up of musicians from all over the country and all over the musical map,” shared Keith Rawlins, DCCA Artistic Director. The band includes keyboardist Bob Nave, who earned a gold record in 1968 as a member of the Lemon Pipers when their hit “Green Tambourine” surpassed a million in sales. Other members of Rhythm Jones are Eric Oseas on guitar and back-up vocals, Steven Fitzpatrick on vocals and guitar, singer Rachel Sontag, Reed Bogart on bass, and drummer/vocalist Ray Fernandez. The music begins at 6:30 p.m. with local musicians Aaron Frohna and David Warner performing their version of rock favorites.

In case of inclement weather, Barbecue and Blues will move into Turtle Creek's comfortable clubhouse. Although tickets will be available at the gate, DCCA strongly recommends purchasing tickets in advance. Tickets can be reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net or ordered online at www.centerforarts.net.
