614 Blues allstars
614 Allstars CBA's youth band program developing the next generation of blues musicians — ages 14 to 20, year-round, led by a dedicated music educator.
About the Program
The 614 Allstars is a year-round performance and education program for young blues musicians ages 14–20. Led by Jeff McCargish, music teacher at Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School, participants rehearse one to two days a week and receive coaching on performing, recording, and the real business of being a professional musician.
CBA currently has two active bands — a seasoned seven-piece group and a younger ensemble full of emerging talent — giving young musicians at every stage a place to develop and grow.
