Event Description

The CAT is back and the guitars are the stars at this exciting event. Last years SMASH SUCCESS was an unexpected surprise and we're doing it again this year. Come hear some great blues, rock, folk, gospel and plenty of surprises from some of Kansas City's best cigar box guitar artists as well as some closet performers at OPEN MIKE opportunities throughout the afternoon.

Additionally, there will be raffle tickets sold for drawings throughout the event for cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related items. Proceeds will benefit the Kansas City BLUES IN THE SCHOOLS program, of which I am intimately involved in. If anyone has items to DONATE to the cause, please contact me here with your interest. Cigar Box Guitars, cigar box guitar accessories, cigar box guitar CDs and DVDs--I'll use it all!

PLEASE RSVP HERE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THERE'S ENOUGH SPACE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!

Everyone is welcome at this free, family-oriented celebration of the CIGAR BOX GUITAR, which has seen quite a revival among even professional musicians!

Comment by Kevin M. Kraft on August 4, 2012 at 7:16am: Excellent, Linda! Thank you. Can't wait to see you again.

Comment by Linda on August 3, 2012 at 9:26am: Hi Kevin,

I will be donating a 3 string accoustic/electric. I'll be there to play as well so I will bring it with me. Can't wait.

Comment by Kevin M. Kraft on August 3, 2012 at 8:35am: OK, it looks like we're gonna run a raffle similar to last year's for the Blues in the Schools program! If you have cigar box guitars, related accessories (pickups,) CDs, DVDs--anything to donate for the drawings, that'll be great! Last year we got a lot of fantastic contributions. Let's do it even bigger this year! Contact me her with what you have. I'll tell you how to get it to me, unless you're coming to the festival!

Comment by Uncle John on July 22, 2012 at 9:28am: Box shot of Spider Didey. Nice playing diddley. The chords sound best right over the fret markers. Piezo. Never played by Micheal Jackson or Jack Benny.

Comment by Uncle John on July 22, 2012 at 9:25am: Linda and I plan to do Hank's Mind Your Own Business, We two will plug in. Anybody care to play along and do the 'Mind Your Own Business' echos will be welcome and appreciated.

Kevin can use this donation as he sees fit. Blues for Schools or whatever he wants. - Spider Didley for donation.
