| July 8 |
Cobalt Rhythm Kings |
A BB&J favorite, these guys are back for their sixth consecutive year to open the Festival right. |
| July 15 |
D.W. Armstrong |
Back for his third year, CT singer D.W. Armstrong was voted blues band of the year (all by himself!) in 2001 by the CT Blues Society. |
| July 22 | King for a Day |
Powerhouse vocals from Danny Labich, Randy Funke on guitary, and strong rhythm from Benj LeFevre on bass and Kurt Bergland on drums. Check them out here. |
| July 29 |
Greg Sharrod Band | A longtime New England entertainer, this is Mr. Sherrod's second year at the festival. Check him out here. |
| Aug 5 |
Shiny Lapel Trio |
One of our all time favorites is back. With a great big sound and a big ol’ slice of velvety smooth vocals, they can be rippin’ thru a classic Louis Prima standard, or makin’ ya cry with a Nat King Cole classic. |
| Aug 12 |
Bluzberry Pi | Also back for their 6th consecutive BBJ, Bluzberry Pi is a high-energy band that captures the raw intensity of roots rock and fuses it with blues and infectious rhythms guaranteed to get your feet tapping. |
| Aug 19 |
The Moody Blossom Band |
Playing self-described "hillbilly stuff," this pair of longtime guitarists brings a little bit of open G tuning and slide gi-tar to the Festival. |
| Aug 26 | The Langely Project | Funk and Motown review: "The Langley Project’s has dual male/female lead vocals with one of the funkiest rhythm sections in the business to make all those songs come to life on stage." These guys will finish out the festival right. |
City Seed Farmer's Market will run from 11 AM to 3 PM and the live blues music will begin at 12 noon and run until 2 PM. This is a free event! So grab a seat on the Green, starting July 8, and get ready to jam in your city all summer long.
