JS: How often will you be playing there? CR: Once a week, beginning November 1st, starting around 9:30 or 10 pm. We’ll be given 2 one hour slots, The Cosmic Blues Band, as house band will open the show, followed by a headliner. Eventually, we’ll choose three bands that we’ve had headline to join us in a showcase. Following the showcase, the one band that stood out the most will be chose and given an entire evening. JS: How long do you see this going? CR: There’s no definite end that I see. It may run a month or two, maybe longer, depending on how successful it is. JS: And are you responsible for booking the bands? CR: I’m responsible for booking all the bands for my event, but BB King’s showed it respect by asking us for input as to who they should book on Sunday’s, prior to the event. They also wanted to make sure that bands didn’t overlap. JS: Let’s say one of our readers is interested in having their band play, how would they contact you about that? CR: The easiest way is to friend me on Facebook, I’m Cosmic Ray NY.
