The 2006 Arkansas Blues and Heritage festival


Richard JohnstonDay 3 of Da Biscuit -
the final day of the fest promised to be one of the best yet, with another day of 'made-to-order' weather. A day of leisure is easy at this event, as you can choose to make a permanent base in front of your favorite stage and just soak up the sounds. Or, you can choose the more aerobic plan of visiting as many stages as you can squeeze into a day.

Yesterday
was focused on exploring as much music as possible, something you'll find in abundance down at Da Biscuit. With 5 stages, and street musicians performing all along Cherry Street, there's more than enough, even for us here at STLBlues! And that's no easy task!!

Today was spent enjoying the festivities found only in Tent City. Strongly recommended for the RV/Camping set, it's fun enough you may never want to leave. But leave you will, as there's nothing like the musical line-up at Da Biscuit. Here's what today had to offer -

- Kenny Brown Band
- Watermelon Slim & The Workers
- Larry Garner
- Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials
- Robert Lockwood, Jr.
- Michael Burks
- Phillip Walker
- The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Special thanks goes out
to all those who made this event a reality, and keep bringing this event to you FREE! Jerry Pillow for booking such a good lineup of talent, Bubba Sullivan for all his efforts, and Rayne Gordon - Prez of the Sonny Boy Blues Society, producers of this event - and all the staff and volunteers. Special thanks naturally to all the artists that shared their gift of music to so many! We'll see you at the 2007 Arkansas Blues and Heritage festival!
