The “Blues for H.U.E.S.” concert will heat up Lane County on March 28 — in more ways than one. The show, which will take place at the Eugene Hilton Conference Center, located at 66 E. Sixth Ave., is a H.U.E.S. benefit (Heat Up Eugene/Springfield). The event is supported by a coalition of local utility companies and is designed to provide assistance to local residents unable to afford basic services such as heat, light, water and sewer.
The evening will include a silent auction and jazz performance from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., along with additional blues musicians and guest speakers running from 8 p.m. to after 11 p.m. Tickets are $15, available at all Safeway Fastixx Centers and other locations, which can be found at www.fastixx.com. Tickets are $18 at the door, and the show is expected to sell out.
