Hi Blues Fans!
I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to start this out by talking about tickets. As a reminder, the 2020 tickets were REFUNDED, so those will not be valid for 2022. Please purchase new tickets HERE.
VIP is almost sold out, so if you’re on the fence, you better grab them now!
Okay… now onto our Saturday night headliner, Anders Osborne.
Osborne’s six-string virtuosity, inventive musicality, and poetic songcraft underpin an ever-expanding three-decade catalog celebrated by fans and critics alike. As a sought-after studio talent, his writing resounds through Keb Mo’s GRAMMY® Award-winning Slow Down, Tim McGraw’s number one “Watch The Wind Blow By,” and covers by Brad Paisley, Jonny Lang, Edwin McCain, Aaron Neville, and more. His output live and in the studio spans working with everyone from Eric Church, Toots and the Maytals, and John Scofield to The Meters, North Mississippi Allstars, and Galactic. His extensive touring history encompasses gigs, collaborations, and performances alongside everyone from Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, and Stanton Moore to The Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh and Jackie Greene.
Anders has won so many awards over the years… he must be doing something right.
