We're seeking volunteers for the Fountain Blues Festival (fountainblues.com), this year known as the Fountain Blues & Brews Festival. It's taking place on June 23, 2018 at Plaza de Cesar Chavez park, across from the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San Jose. We're currently looking to fill positions in Admissions and Craft Beer Serving and Pouring. Volunteers who work a 4-hour shift will receive a t-shirt voucher and 2 drink tickets. (Bottle water is free to volunteers.) Volunteers who work an 8-hour shift will receive the same, plus a General Admission ticket for a friend. No prior experience is necessary -- but a great attitude, love of people, and ability to problem solve in the fly is essential.
We've got a great lineup of music planned. Join us and be a part of the fun!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Fountain Blues Foundation ("FBF") is to preserve and promote the blues, America's indigenous music, in the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly in San Jose, California. An active, fundraising-focused Board of Directors hosts year-round events highlighting regional blues artists, helping stitch blues music into the fabric of the San Jose music Scene. Our goals: • Provide a platform for blues musicians to find live music performance opportunities, in a time of diminishing venues for the blues. • Expose the broader music community to the blues, encouraging young artists and audiences to learn about the genre. • Create opportunities for musicians to find mentorship and music industry experiences that can promote professional artistic growth. • Partner with local venues and merchants to promote the blues art form. • Support economic development in San Jose by including local venues and merchants in FBF programming.
Description
The 37th Annual Fountain Blues Festival -- the largest event organized annually by the Fountain Blues Foundation ("FBF") -- will take place on June 23, 2018 at Plaza de Cesar Chavez. For more than 30 years, the Festival has built a strong reputation and Bay Area tradition, beginning with its roots as a production of the San Jose State Associated Students organization. The Festival has become the longest-running blues festival in the Bay Area. Not only does the Festival showcase renowned musicians in the blues genre, but also gospel, swing, zydeco, funk, soul and R&B. In addition to presenting acts of national stature, the Festival highlights local musicians, artists, craft beer tasting and Southern cuisine in an inviting, village-like atmosphere, with the park's fountain accentuating the fun for families.
