A free Friday afternoon special Spring blues music event/fundraiser on the Sac State campus is set for April 17, 2026.The casual “Blues on the Green” outdoor concert is open to students and faculty, the Renaissance Society and the public. The 4pm-6pm free gathering will celebrate the
many years the ASI Food Pantry has served the Sac State students. Currently, the ASI Food Pantry serves nearly three thousand students yearly.
Blues fans and in particular, International Blues Challenge (IBC) supporters will be over the moon to know that two young friends, Little Village Recording Artist Kyle Rowland
and our 2026 local IBC winner who represented us in Memphis, Dirty Laundry, will be pairing up to bring their exuberant front porch Delta and Piedmont-style acoustic blues.
The Sac State School of Music will also get into the act by providing a specially chosen group of faculty (led by Dr. Scott Perkins, Director of the School of Music and Steve
Roach, Director of Jazz Studies) and student players following our SBS duo.
Partners in this fundraiser and information opportunity are led by ASI Student Services Manager Ryan Choi (ASI Food Pantry/ASI Student Engagement and Outreach Office)
along with Scott Perkins, Director of the School of Music, Mindy Giles of the Sacramento Blues Society, and Barbara Ray, Renaissance Society Events Chair (and
former SBS Board member) at Sacramento State. Hector Hernandez of KSSU Radio and Lauren Prieto, Events and Outreach Coordinator for ASI Student Engagement and
Outreach Office will assist in promotion and marketing. The Renaissance Society is a 2000-member strong group of life-long learners. Created in 1986, the member-driven organization
is celebrating forty years of intellectual curiosity, appreciating diversity, and building community through a vast program of
seminars, forums and events both on campus and by Zoom.
