You're never too young for the blues. That's the message the Grammy-winning music producers at the Blue Shoe Project are sending with their blues festival for all ages in Colleyville on Saturday. The mission behind the Blue Shoe Project is to preserve traditional blues music for new generations. To that end, the event will include a 3 p.m. blues workshop for kids, led by Marquise "Big Daddy" Knox, who will perform later with his Hard Knox Blues Band. Additional performers include five-time Grammy Award winner Tim Alexander of the country band Asleep at the Wheel, recording artists Elvis T. Busboy and the Blues Butchers, international blues artist Tutu Jones and slide guitar master Gerry Moss. The Blue Shoe Project has brought blues to more than 25,000 students in North Texas. While the event is free, a special VIP package that includes backstage access, hospitality and an all-inclusive food and beverage service costs $100, with proceeds going to the Blue Shoe Project's education and outreach efforts.
