Velvet Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Y'know, I went through the schedule and listened to a lot of the bands I hadn't heard of and I honestly think the reason this year's lineup doesn't look very interesting is because it's loaded with blues and blues-leaning acts that most people haven't heard of (myself included). Oh the irony. Anyways, I found lots of stuff that interests me this year. This is what I'll be seeing: Thu 6 Bill Durst Pokey LaFarge Fri 7 Old Whiskey Road Melissa Etheridge Matt Anderson Sat 8 Angelina Hunter Too Slim Sugaray Rayford Molly Hatchet Sun 9 Vanessa Collier Slam Allen Yonatan Gat (this sounds pretty interesting) Pat Travers Tue 11 Carolyn Wonderland The Zombies Wed 12 The Shins Gary Clark Jr. Thu 13 Wicked Grin Coco Montoya Fabulous Thunderbirds Fri 14 The Campbell Brothers Jack Semple (wow, have you heard this guy?) Anderson .Paak Gregg Allman Tribute Sat 15 The Jivewires Thornetta Davis Hamish Anderson Delicate Steve Busty and the Bass (crazy good stuff) Xavier Rudd Sun 16 Souljazz Orchestra Sari Schorr BITB Teachers showcase (featuring me!)

Velvet Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Wow, Yonatan Gat was incredible last night. Can't imagine anything being better than that this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 With LCD Soundsystem on the main stage, and Gary Clark Jr. on the Black Sheep stage at the same time last night, I don't think the Bluesfest has ever done a better job at splitting up the generations. "Alright, you people under the age of 45 go over here, anyone older go the Black Sheep stage!" I split my time between the two shows, I thought both were excellent.

phorbesie Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Great Bluesfest! I only went 3 nights, but luckily they were not the rainy nights! Really enjoyed LCD Soundsystem, Delicate Steve, Muse and best of all Tom Petty. Light rig was so sick. It was also great to see so many friends there as in yesteryear.

edger Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Petty always puts on a great anthem riddled show that brings everyone together. Sad to have missed him this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
