Get Out to Live Music!

On Friday,  August 21, John Nemeth played at Chattanooga’s Nightfall Concert Series. What luck for us! Steve and I missed the chance to see him at the Wheeling Heritage Music BluesFest on August 7.  John’s harp and vocal talents combine in a show that knock your socks off.  He had a good turn out, too. And, sitting in the first row was E.G. Kight!

Get out to a live show this week!

Wheeling’s 2009 Heritage Music BluesFest started off and ended with ”BANG”.  From Friday night’s start to the last performance on Sunday nothing but the best of the blues came from the stage by the river. It’s hard to give each band the justice they deserve, so I’ve added the entire schedule below so you can check out each one. One thing is sure — Bruce Wheeler knows how to put together a great festival. The best thing about the festival is that these great artists stop by the sales table to sign CDs and chat with the fans. Where else, but at a blues festival, can you do that? I hope to see you there next year; it’s always the second weekend in August!
