"Dave Beardsley and STLBlues have provided invaluable tools for me to produce and publicize my documentary, “Mr. Handy’s Blues”. From
getting the word out about the film, to setting up the website and promoting the DVD, Dave has been there for me. STLBlues is
definitely on the frontlines of what’s “news” in the Blues world. He has the know-how and savvy to navigate the deep waters of distribution, spreading the news about the Blues world in a format unlike any other. I regard him as a mentor when it comes to ‘spreading the blues’ to a wide audience."

“As a touring musician, I have found it so helpful to find tour support and help promoting shows from local organizers like STLBlues.net.
In the 21st century, let’s face it, the way blues lovers find live music in their area is on the internet and through social media.” The music culture in St Louis is rich and deep and thankfully there are people who are working to enrich, share, nurture and grow the musical
arts now and into the future.”

"I have been with STLBlues.net since its inception. It is a comprehensive tool that is a great resource for working musicians such as
myself. I am able to direct anyone looking for our shows directly to that. A few years ago, I had to go without my own website and I
depended on STLBlues.net to fill the void. Dave Beardsley himself has been nothing short of outstanding and professional, answering
questions, suggesting changes and updates to my own personal pages, etc. It's always been a great experience. I look forward to
continuing my relationship with STLBlues.net, STLBluesTALENT.net. and Dave Beardsley!"

"STLBlues.net and STLBluesTALENT.net are invaluable resources for connecting the community to St. Louis Blues artists! The STLBlues.net live music calendar is an indispensable asset for both local and touring Blues artists, reaches thousands of daily music seeking visitors, and the best thing is it's free to post ALL your STL shows!!!"

"Dave Beardsley and STLBlues.net have been of great value to our band 'The Alley Tones' by offering advice on social media, our website, and the STLBlues live music calendar. This is an invaluable resource for many musicians and is done professionally and with high standards. This a must have for blues musicians."

"When I moved to St. Louis nine years ago, one of the big reasons was music. So much music. I quickly discovered StLBlues.net as the prime source for bands and calendar listings. It is comprehensive and accurate, easy to navigate and a great way to plan a night, a week or a month in the clubs. Later, as I was writing my two-volume history of the city and its music, I found the site a great resource for information about local bands and their current CDs as well as numerous interviews with musicians both veteran and new. For any music fan it's the first place to look for all things St. Louis blues."

"The STLBlues Calendar and website is a great resource to see what's happenin' in STL. It was cool of them to mention my appearances in STL when I was on tour with Alan Parsons a couple years ago, I'm looking forward to working with them when I bring my blues rock band through next time around!"

"What a calendar! What a listing of St Louis musicians and musical events! As Sugar and I and the staff at Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine have found out after putting together a "St Louis" issue, Dave Beardsley is bringing it! The National Blues Museum is a great accomplishment but Mr. Beardsley has guided STLBLUES for a much longer period of time. Introducing fans, events, club owners, and talent is the trick and Dave's and STLBLUES hands-on attention to detail make this well-oiled machine purr! The "toolshed" is open! Go to STLBluestalent.net & STLBlues.net, and lets get to work!"
Read More
"I never travel to St. Louis before consulting STLBlues.net. The calendar on the website is my roadmap to all things Blues. Dave Beardsley
and his relationship with musicians and venues makes STLBlues.net irreplaceable when planning a night or two out on the town!"

"The STLBlues advertising, live music calendar and publicity tools have helped many blues fans connect with the shows I'm playing in the St. Louis area! I'm very thankful for the help bringing the people to the artists and venues! Dave has been a great help in the past with the blues society as well... lets keep it up!!"

"Anyone that knows Dave Beardsley knows that he was the driving force and co-founder of the National Blues Museum in St Louis, and without his vision, perseverance and dedication it may well never have been built! He is also the founder of STLBlues.net and the live music calendar and before I forget, he also produces the popular "Blues in the Schools" program that educates kids and adults alike about the roots of the Blues, and all that came from it. As Muddy Waters said, "the Blues had a baby and they called it Rock n Roll". Everyone, young and old, love this program!"
Thanks Dave for all you've done, and proud to call you friend!!
