The SBS would like to acknowledge the passing of the great bluesman, musician and friend of The Saskatoon Blues Society Mr. Tim Williams. Tim graced our festival stages many times and besides being one of the world's most accomplished blues musicians he was no less a great gentleman and true blues raconteur. We wish all of his family and friends our most heartfelt condolences.
