Hello Blues Fans!
It’s FALL! WOW, I don’t know where this year has gone! I also happen to turn 40 today – I also can’t believe I’m 40.
Now, onto why you’re actually here – BLUES! I finally know what I want to do in 2022! This was an idea my mother had years ago that she always wanted to do, and I figured why not 2022! So I’m currently reaching out to the artists I’d like to have each night, and fingers crossed they all say yes! I did see that some bands are already booked in 2022 and our weekend no less! UGH!! But no fear, I am working hard!
This month I need to focus on finishing up the sponsorship packages, this event can’t happen without some serious sponsor support, and by that I mean money. My goal is to complete the packages and start pitching half way through September, so I can get on their 2022 budgets! Again, if you know someone who might be interested, please send them my way.
I also signed a contract with a new ticketing company, I feel like they are just a better platform and their fees are much more reasonable. Tickets will go on sale, February 1, 2022!
Our 2022 format will be almost exactly like 2019. Friday June 10th we will open at 2 pm for VIP and 2:30 for GA and this time we will go until 9 pm, with a total of 4 bands Friday! Saturday June 11th gates open at 10:30 am for VIP and 11 am for GA and we will go until 8 pm with 6 bands! We will have VERY limited parking available. As we get bigger the more parking “space” I need to take over for the event itself. VIP tickets will come with a parking pass. I’ll be working on shuttles, Uber partnerships, as well as Lyft partnerships.
I have also finalized some incredible hotel deals! If you’ve attended before then you know what I mean, and you know you have to book EARLY! So here you go!
Sonesta ES Suites – If you haven’t stayed here you should! Ellen and her team are amazing, this is in walking distance to the festival and you get breakfast every morning! Call 928-526-5555 and Mention Blues and Brews for 15% off rates. If you have any trouble, do not call me, please ask for Ellen – she knows everything!
Next up is Fairfield by Marriott, this is also an incredible hotel just up the street from Sonesta. You can walk, its just a bit further. Please call 928-707-7800 and mention Blues and Brews for 12% off rates. Again, don’t call me but please ask for Kelsey if you have any issues.
Then we have Hampton Inn and Suites, this is right next door to the Fairfield hotel! Please call 928-433-1234 and mention Blues and Brews for 12% off rates. Kelsey is your girl for this hotel as well!
Then we have, Holiday Inn Express. Now, this is farther away but easily accessible from I-40 and a quick uber ride away. Please call 928-714-1000 and ask for the Blues and Brews rate for 12% off. You guessed it, Kelsey is your girl if you have any issues.
And last but not least, GreenTree Inn, this has been a longtime partner of our festival and they are back! Please call 928-773-1111 and ask for the blues rate, this will get your rooms for 15% off. Again please don’t call me but if you do have issues, ask for Brian.
