In looking at the lineup, there are a number of “Blues/Rock” bands playing. One can’t miss band that I highly recommend is Anders Osborne out of New Orleans. The Radiators are also playing. Anyone who has ever attended Jazz Fest is familiar with this party band. I also see that Tim Boykin’s Shame Idols are also playing. This is not Tim’s Blues band, butt he is such a good player, I will list him under “Not Necessarily the Blues” butt very entertaining. Check out http://www.dodahday.org/ for more info.

Many virtuoso blues performers never gained true public acceptance, and some have passed away unrecognized and unrecorded. The Magic City Blues Society is a non-profit (501-C) organization founded on January 10, 1993. The purposes of the society are: (1) to encourage the performances of the blues; (2) to encourage the preservation of the blues; (3) to develop an appreciation of the blues within the community; and (4) such other charitable civic, literary or cultural activities within the community consistent with the purposes stated above. The blues is very much a part of Southern life and history, deserving recognition as a valid and historical folk art form.
