Support local music with Sierra Madre Sue


Beautiful, barefoot, buxom babe, BECKY BARKSDALE, brings her blazing blues to the BUCCANEER bar in Sierra Madre this Friday, December 19th at 9pm. Doesn't that just pretty much say it all?
Not really - there's a much bigger story behind this gal's talent. She started playing guitar when she was 12, and by age 16 she was performing professionally on stage. She has won numerous awards and accolades for her blues guitar and vocals, and she can hold her own on bass and drums as well. Her TV and film music credits are a mile long, and she played lead guitar with Michael Jackson on his 1993 world tour. We are privileged to have Becky playing in our humble burg, even if it is only once a year. Don't miss it! This photo was taken at her 2007 Buccaneer appearance.
