Topic: Cracking Blues Fest in LA

Look at  this line up down at Long Beach ........ cool

Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Johnny Winter on Saturday

But i feel Sundays line up is just as tasty

Sonny Landreth, Blind Boys of Alabama & Mavis Staples Awesome stage performances

Plus i would Highly recommend catching The Buddaheads on the 2nd stage too on Sunday afternoon and then Sonny straight after on the main stage, they would be my must see there for sure

Wish i was there

Re: Cracking Blues Fest in LA

Not bad, but there's also some pretty good blues festivals over here featuring a mix of UK and overseas acts, many of which are in commuting distance of London. I'd suggest that more forum members take notice of what is happening closer to home. If we don't water the roots, the green shoots won't grow...
