Pocono Blues Festival
by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Jul.23, 2010, under Home
The management and staff of the 19th Annual Pocono Blues Festival welcomes you to three days of world class blues. We are very proud of being nationally recognized as one of the top blues festivals in the world. Since 1992, we have showcased more than 300 national and international bands.
This year, our lineup consists of 19 national recording artitsts including the big names Mavis Staples, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and several artists that you may have heard but have never seen before that perform an eclectic mix of the full spectrum of the music, showcasing contemporary and traditional electric and acoustic blues, rhythm and blues, sacred steel gospel music, and zydeco music.
We have had so many historic memories throughout the first 18 years. Do you remember Eddie Clearwater entering the festival on a white stallion in 1998, or Shemekia Copeland making her grand entrance to the stage on a Harley Davidson in 2002?
Whether this is your first Pocono Blues Festival or your 19th, it is our sincere hope that you enjoy every minute of your experience at the festival and the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
