My name is Peter Wehle. I am a lifelong Blues Lover. I knew Mr. Kenny Casabon who started the Kalamazoo Blues Festival with the other good people with the Kalamazoo Blues organization. I was a Blues Promoter in South Bend, Indiana and called my promotional company along with my partner Mr. Dante Kopeck, the “Blues Inferno”. We had “Lil Ed and the Imperials in for a show once at our regular venue-Z.B. Falcons in South Bend. I am a good friend with your MC for the “Kalamazoo Blues Festival, 2024, Mr. Harvey Stauffer who is married to my partner, Dante, I call him Dick, his lovely sister, Armida.
I am looking forward to attending the “Kalamazoo Blues Festival” this year-2024!
