Mile High Marketplace is proud to announce the first annual Mile High
Blues Festival on August 8 and 9, 2009, in Denver, Colorado. Denver’s
Blues scene has been without a major Blues Festival for over five
years, but the drought is over with the new Mile High Blues Festival.
The festival is loaded with two days of nationally renowned and Grammy-winning
Blues recording artists; plus many artists who were recently nominated
for the 2009 Blues Music Awards. A portion of the proceeds from the
event will benefit the Colorado Blues Society to support keeping the
Blues alive in Colorado.
The lineup includes Blues artists such as
C & C Records Recording Artist Bernard Allison, singer-songwriter
Curtis Salgado, and guitar virtuoso Jimmy Thackery. The magical
Eden Brent will perform, along with renowned national artists such
as the legendary John Hammond, Memphis singer-songwriter Reba Russell,
and a special guest star appearance by Rick Estrin & the Night
Cats. Ryan McGarvey and the Delta Sonics will kick off the festival.
Plus more great artists to be announced soon.
