It’s music to our ears! The 11th Annual Wiregrass Blues Festival is coming up at The Plant on Saturday, March 23rd. There will be live music, dancing, good food and cold beer. But that’s not all!
About the 11th Annual Wiregrass Blues Festival
The 11th Annual Wiregrass Blues Festival, “Blues, Brews & BBQ,” will feature four blues bands, a backyard barbecue competition and a car show. In addition to all of that excitement, there will also be a charity bike ride, kids’ activities, arts and crafts vendors and more.
What’s more, if you purchase a VIP ticket, you’re invited to a special “meet and greet” with music by RB Stone and the opportunity to meet other festival performers. The pre-party will be at the Uptown Jazz Club and include free appetizers and a cash bar on Friday, March 22nd. But you’ll have to stay tuned for the location.

Whether you’re VIP or general admission, get ready for a night of good music and entertainment with this line-up! In no particular order, check out the 11th Annual Wiregrass Blues Festival performers:

Known for his contemporary blues style, Selwyn Birchwood was described by Rolling Stones as a “powerhouse young guitarist and a soulful vocalist.”
Derrick Dove & The Peacekeepers
