Sure to be an exciting night with these four bands in the lineup. Tickets for the entire festival are up around $110.00 but I believe there are break outs too and one can attend just Sunday, just Friday or the entire event on a sliding scale depending on how many days you attend! 

This talented funkadelic sound is coming our way to Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Fest this weekend. Starting tomorrow in the Beer Tent there will be 4 or so live bands and then Saturday big names all day long ending with Samantha Fish. Then Sunday another star studded music day of adventure

Speaking of adventure another year at the Blues Fest. the wind kicked up and the next thing we knew was that we had to move to the beer garden. When we got home we could not pull in our driveway and all kinds of homes, vehicles and ruckus all over the valley due to this microburst of wind that uprooted very old super large pine trees smashing all in their way. We wonder if this will be an uneventful year at the festival. Statistics are on our side as we have weathered all kinds of adventures other years at the festival...

Festival lovers can not miss this fabulous Winthrop Festival. Jimmy Smith of Winthrop has been a master at producing gigs starting with none other than famous Bill Graham. Alwasy a blues fanatic, Jim brought the festival here many years ago and since then every year has been quite an adventure.  One year the catastrophic fires hit and The Winthrop Rhythm and Blues Festival opened the gates, showers, food you name it to the victims whilst various bands donated generously.  Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble was one of the generous donors to the Carlton Complex fire raging on during the festival.

We are lucky to have Curley (but we surely do not wish for any more trouble) again this year along with many very hot bands. Stay tuned.
