Members
Mike Black
I am a parent of a five time participant and intern with the June Pinetop Perkins Foundation Workshop Experience. I have witnessed the incredible impact on young men and women at the beginning of their career honing their skills while immersed in the famous Delta and Crossroads of Northwest Mississippi. I look forward to assisting with fundraising efforts towards both young musicians and seasoned blues performers alike on behalf of the Pinetop Perkins Foundation.
Dave Tellman
A former radio programmer, now a retail marketing director, who has discovered his love of blues at an early age. After seeing what my son experienced and created with other like talented youth at the PPF Masterclass, I immediately wanted help young artists forge their musical DNA with the blues.
I am excited to be a part of this new committee and help direct fundraising efforts to expand the reach and mission of the Pinetop Perkins Foundation.
