October
30 - 31
Rockin' Beaumont Blues Festival - Beaumont
Featuring
– Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Delbert McClinton,
Bo Diddley, many more.
The
First Annual Rocking Beaumont Blues Festival will take place Saturday,
October 30, and Sunday, October 31, 2004, in downtown Beaumont.
The goal is to provide blues music from three independent stages
throughout the day. Stage performances, games, arts activities,
food, art vendors, craft vendors, and informal jam sessions will
provide an abundance of activities for festival-goers.
"The
influence of blues music is detectable in so many genres of today's
music. Its evolvement has been instrumental in much of what is heard
on the radio today. The fact that southeast Texas has reared some
the industry's greatest contributors and with no major blues festivals
in the region, the concept of a festival to celebrate this rich
tradition is potentially enormous," said Regina Lindsey, Executive
Director for the Southeast Texas Arts Council.

anyone else for any reason. If you don't like this idea, that's
ok too. Just click the link at the bottom of this email and you'll
be removed from the list.
