We sure are looking forward to what looks to be a beautiful weekend!
We wanted to bring y’all’s attention to the 11th annual Deep Blues Festival going down in Clarksdale on October 11-14. Located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Clarksdale is such a fantastic weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the every day routine. Keep reading for more information on this unique festival!
This year the nation’s best blues artist and biggest fans will all gather in Clarksdale to celebrate the incredible power of the blues. Do you feel like you would love to go and check it out but maybe music festivals aren’t really your thing? The Deep Blues festival isn’t Bonnaroo, Coachella, or Lollapalooza. It’s a unique event that the creators of the festival were yearning for, “Organized by hardcore roots music fans — a mix of Clarksdale locals and international transplants — Deep Blues Festival is not your typical music festival. It's the fest that they always wanted to attend but could never find. "Look, there are plenty of amazing festivals with enormous stages, big anonymous crowds and rows of portajohns. They're fine, sometimes even great. But Deep Blues Fest is better," according to co-organizer Robin Colonas. "Our event aims for two things missing from that 'festipalooza' formula — authenticity and intimacy. At DBF, concert-goers enjoy the town, the venues and the people every bit as much as the absolutely killer musical lineup." |
The Deep Blues festival celebrates the history and local flavor of Clarksdale. The New Roxy and the Shack Up Inn are the stages for incredible talent. Attendees of the festival are sure to be delighted by the richness of the Mississippi Delta. This year's festival lineup features RL Boyce, Alvin "Youngblood" Hart & Muscle Theory, Jimbo Mathus, Psychotic Reaction, Bob Log III, Big George Brock, Reverend John Wilkins, Monsieur Jeffrey Evans & His Southern Aces, Jimmy "Duck" Holmes, Molly Gene One Whoaman Band, Robert "Lil Poochie" Watson & Hezekiah Early.
