If you enjoy listening to the
“blues” then you’ll love the 18th Annual Hot Springs Blues
Festival Aug. 29-31. Hot Springs offers so much great music year ‘round, but
the Blue Festival is especially entertaining. This year the Festival has added
additional music on Friday night to kick off the weekend.
The Festival is sponsored by Spa
City Blues Society and includes music workshops, an artists alley for local
artisans to share their wares, after parties in local venues and a full line-up
of local, regional and national acts.
The
headliner for the weekend is Larry Garner on Sunday evening. Garner has won
numerous awards and accolades through the years. He is from Louisiana and was
inducted into the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame in 2002. Ghost Town Blues Band,
a modern blues band influenced from blues, rock and improvisational jams, from
Memphis will open for Garner. GTBB is a Beale Street success story and has
received quite a bit of airplay in the U.S. and Europe.
JP Soars
and the Red Hots is the headline performer on Saturday evening. Soars has a
diverse musical background with a lot of musical influences. He played in the
2013 Blues Festival. Well-known queen of Beale Street Barbara Blue will open
for Soars. Since 1997 Blue has performed on Beale Street five nights a week at
Silky O’Sullivan’s.
The
line-up for the Festival on Friday night is Heavy Suga & The Sweetones,
Steve Hester and DeJaVooDoo and the Hump Night Blues band with special guests.
Hot Springs is an exceptional city
with wonderful music in many venues throughout the year. While you’re visiting
during the Festival, we invite you to come out to Diamondhead Resort Community
and take a look at our beautiful place to live. We support all the cultural
arts in Hot Springs and we especially enjoy the Blues Music Festival each year.
Diamondhead is a quiet, gated community with great people, activities and Lake
Catherine in our neighborhood. It’s a great place to crank up the music, kick
back with a cold drink and enjoy a great lifestyle. For more information on Hot
