Better at knowing what matters to you Happy Birthday, Billie!

Hot Blues by All-Stars

Things are getting a lot more BLUESY in San Jose with the inaugural show on April 7, by the Gardenia Society celebrating Billie Holiday’s Birthday.

Local entrepreneur and music aficionado, Mark Hughes and his wife Mariana look forward

to introducing a bit of a different groove into the South Bay music scene.

This first, a promise of more to come, event did feature some local well known talent - Lady Bianca, Guitar Mac and Lloyd Gregory to name a few taking part in this showcase.
