Hi Blues fans! Well the weather has FINALLY turned the corner. OMG this weekend was just beautiful! The Driving Range that had a lake on it last week, is dry and green! I was getting so worried we were going to have a lake front festival!
Things are in full swing, we are officially 38 days away! The staff is getting assembled, merchandise is being delivered, bands are confirming their travel plans and I of course am working all the time. It really is a good thing I love this event so much!
So a few house keeping items… we are sold out of VIP TICKETS. Yup! You all sold those faster than I ever have before! I can’t believe it, thank you!!! Now, we do have plenty of General Admission Tickets, however I know we will sell out and there will be NO DAY OF SALES, so don’t wait!
We are also sold out of all parking passes. Now, good news is I have a FREE shuttle running all day Friday and Saturday.
You can get all the details HERE.
Still complaining about the price? Then Volunteer! If you give me a few hours of helping the event, then you not only get in free, you get a free t-shirt as well as food during your shift. Click HERE to sign up.
Now to talk about a few Arizona Bands, JC and the Juke Rockers and The Aaron McCall Band. Both of these bands are from the Phoenix Area.
JC and The Juke Rockers won the Arizona Blues Showdown and went to Memphis this year to represent Arizona! We are very proud of them. JC and the boys play all over Phoenix, click HERE to check out their upcoming events. And if you can’t make a show but want to hear them, click HERE. JC and the Juke Rockers will open the festival on Saturday June 10th!
The Aaron McCall band reach out to me in July of last year! Aaron let me know that his great uncle is Cash McCall Chicago a blues legend! He also completed in an international blues competition and ended up getting second place. Aaron sent me some YouTube Links HERE, and after hearing those, I knew he would be perfect! The Aaron McCall Band will open the festival on Friday June 9th!
Until next week blues fans… and remember you can always email me here, reach out on social media, or give my cell a call!
I’m really looking forward to an incredible 2023 festival!
Jen
