Thanks!

A big CIBS thanks goes out to Terry Cole for his generous contribution to KCCK 88.3 radio as a friend of CIBS. CIBS received many mentions for the Winter BluesFest through this contribution.

KCCK broadcasts out of Cedar Rapids and is home to Bob DeForest of the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame. If you’re driving through eastern Iowa on a Friday or Saturday night, tune to 88.3 for some of KCCK’s blues programming or find them streaming live on the web at www.kcck.org.
