Kim Archer Band: Calendar

Our goal is to have an organic and entertaining blues alternative to Labor Days overpriced or hard to get to events, one that serves to preserve the Blues and entertain families and their loved ones. We also strive to raise awareness of community gardens and the foodbank gardens that voluntarily grow 40,000 pounds of fresh organic produce that is donated to local area foodbanks, meals on wheels programs and women and children shelters. By promoting and sustaining the blues artists, their passion for blues and their commitment to life, love and giving back to their communities, we hope to create a special relationship between musical networks and food networks. We believe that together we can reap a flavorful harvest.

In the past 30 yrs Seattle’s P-patch community gardens have served as a model example of how small groups gathering collectively to garden can inspire social change. One of the most important ways that Seattle P-patches give back to their communities is through their giving gardens or food bank gardens.

In 2008 these food bank gardens and community farms donated 20 tons of fresh organic produce to local area food banks, meals on wheels programs, women’s and children’s shelters and transitional housing programs.

Proceeds from the Blues for Food Fests go to the P-Patch Trust, a non-profit organization that works to prevent hunger by promoting community gardening in Seattle and by supporting programs that distribute food to those in need and help people grow their own food.

We believe that together we can reap a flavorful harvest. We hope to create a special relationship between musical networks and food networks by promoting and sustaining the blues artists, their passion for blues and their commitment to life, love and giving back to their communities.
