Bluesfest back for round four signal -star staff Blues comes in many forms. Mud from the Mississippi Delta caked on the bottom of a beat -up guitar case, hauled town to town for a few dollars at a time. The piercing wail of a well-worn harp echoing across acres upon acres of cotton in the last light of the setting sun. Two -dollar beer at an out-of- the-way roadhouse drowning out a lonely crowd's sorrows as an un- known talent bleeds sound through his fingers behind a chicken -wire screen. Your baby left you this morning, taking with her all your money and your Cadillac car to boot. You don't need to have the blues to enjoy them, and this Saturday, West Coast Blues will be bringing the best of international and local talent to The Livery stage to take all cares away. Renowed child prodigy and now international blues artist Chris Chown will be headlining the kick- off to Goderich's summer of blues June 20, supported by local rocka- billy mainstays, the Empty Threats. • The concert is a pre-empt to the 4th annual West Coast Bluesfest, taking place Friday and Saturday, Sept. 4-5. Chown brings more than a decade of blues experience to the stage, touring from his early teens. He in- corporates all styles into his own, crediting artists such as B.B. King to Scott Weiland for their influence.

Play- ing only a small handful of venues in Southwestern Ontario this year, June 20 will be the only chance for Goderich's blues fans to see Chown close to home. The Empty Threats are a high-en- ergy, high-calibre group consisting of Craig Harrison, Brenden Purser, Rob Corrigan and Jesse Mabon - all local and all ready to rock The Liv- ery Saturday. Foot -stomping beats, chunky gui- tars and tight bass draw the boogey- woogey out of the woodwork when these local boys with a misleading name take the stage. If their threat is to rock, it is far from empty. For the Labour Day Bluesfest weekend, 2009 marks a very differ- ent venture for the Goderich con- cert, getting seven local venues to open their doors to a variety of jazz and blues performers for a Friday night pub crawl Sept. 4. For $10, fans can get a wristband allowing them access to any of the participating bars and restaurants around The Square, where some of the best blues and jazz performers in the region will be playing. Kicking it all off in the Gazebo at Courthouse Park will be an 11 -piece jazz ensemble - courtesy of GDCI - setting the stage for a legacy of young, Goderich talent. On Saturday, that talent gets upped a notch for the main event at the Livery, where for $25, fans will have the pleasure of sitting back and letting the music take them away in an outdoor setting. The parking lot of the Livery will be tented off, with the bar and ame- nities located indoors. The concert begins at 8 p.m. The BIA will be sponsoring a free afternoon concert for the early blues -goers, again in the downtown gazebo. Doors open for this Saturday's concert at 7 p.m. and tickets are available at Ernie Kings Music, the Livery and at 104.9 the Beach on Suncoast Drive. • O'Keefe memorial tournament raises more than $6,000 • • • ALL AGES -- ALL NATIONALITIES • Work in Movies, Commercials, TV Shows & Photographic Jobs • • • • • Coming to Kincardine Friday, June 19th at 6:30 pm Coming to Hanover • Saturday, June 20th at 10:30 am • $20 Screen Test If not accepted, money refunded • Call to book your appointment 416-703-2580 • • • Ryan Maynards Swedish Berrie • • • • • • • • • • • • Shiloh Kraft Dinner Malcolm Esther -Ann Jaydce Bixhy-Music Vide Ministry or Health Dominique Milburn___ - signal -star staff' Six -thousand dollars can boost a lot of kids, and spirits too. The second annual John O'Keefe Me- • morial golf tournament raised that much, and a little bit more on May 30. • With 108 participants descending upon the Woodland Links Golf Club in 2009, tournament committee member Brian Moody said it "was a lovely day that was generously attended." "There was a lot of return golfers from the previous year who came back because they had such a great time," Moody said, "I think a lot of them will also be back next year as well." Already the eight dedicated commit- tee members are looking ahead to 2010, when the third annual swinging event • will be hosted at the course May 29. Proceeds from the event have gone to- • wards the Huron County Booster Club, a program offered through the Children's • • • ifb • • • Aid Society which provides funding for approximately 100 children to enable them to take part in sports, drama and arts activities that they would not other- wise be able to. It was a cause close to John O'Keefe, and Moody said it was an easy choice to benefit from the memorial tournament. O'Keefe was instrumental in its creation in Goderich and Huron. "We're continuing his good works by supporting. him," Moody said. "The spirit of John was evident throughout the day, and the result was more than we had anticipated. Oddly enough, both years have been marked by unbelievable weather," he added, noting sunny skies won out be- tween bouts of rain and cloud cover it both the first and second year of the tournament.
