At 28, Stacy Jones has released five CDs, played hundreds of shows and won multiple awards, including Washington Blues Society's "Best Female Vocalist of the Year" in 2010.

Way to go girl! Shoot, by the time I was 28, my finest accomplishments were popping out two little hellions and developing a taste for straight shots of Maker's Mark. 

Anyway, back to Jones. Her band will play Jazzbones Sunday, along with six other artists and bands as part of the "Back to Beale Street Blues" benefit for the South Sound Blues Association, or SSBA, to send its "band of the year" winners - House of Bourbon and Blues Redemption - to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn. in January.

"All the bands are doing this for free," says Gary Grape, president of SSBA, "I'm always amazed at the way Northwest groups support each other. The way they give back is really cool."

In addition to The Stacey Jones Band, Blues Redemption, House of Bourbon, The Muddy Sons, The Bill Mattocks Band and The Red Hot Blues Sisters will take the stage. The SSBA's Youth Showcase representative, Nolan Garret, will make an appearance during the event. There will be a raffle and a silent auction.

JAZZBONES, Back to Beale Street 2013 Fundraiser, Sunday, Nov. 4, 4-10 p.m., $10, $8 SSBA members and military, 12 and younger free, 2803 6th Ave., Tacoma, 253. 396.9169
