"The Connecticut Blues Society hosts a variety of competitions throughout the year. These runoffs not only promote their members, but also send Connecticut's cream to participate in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. They're currently in the midst of their Solo/Duo Challenge, and they held the final preliminary round this past Sunday at the Pine Loft on the Berlin Turnpike. Kathy Kasey and Greg Benn, who also play in funk/soul behemoth the Kathy Thompson Band, did a set of stripped-down blues that showcased Kasey's throaty Joplin leanings."
