Linked Stories By Wade Tatangelo

So it all started when we moved our operations center to Bradenton, Fl. We found a really cool office/gallery in The Village Of The Arts (To read the story click here). The Village has a cool event on the first Friday of every month called Artwalk (To read the story click here). To view the videos of our first Artwalk – Open House click here.

We met some wonderful blues fans at the open house and here are the news stories of what will be happening in Bradenton in the fall of 2012.

A team of music lovers have formed the “Amelia Island Blues Festival Committee.” They have set the ball rolling toward the September 2011 inaugural event. The Board of the Amelia Island Blues Festival Inc. consists of Susan Hurley, Jeff Malone, Jeff Barksdale, Marty Scott and Han Ramakers and they are excited to bring a growing interest in the blues to our beautiful island. The Committee, a bunch of pioneers trying to give life to a passion, are doing a great job preparing and organizing an event designed to turn into a major Blues Festival. Even though the cautioning words at an early committee meeting were “small steps”, the committee, the performers and fans of the genre are ready to turn the blues loose on Amelia Island.

The Board of Directors of the Amelia Island Blues Festival has just announced that Nassau Baptist Hospital has been selected as our annual benefactor for the two-day festival, scheduled for September 16 and 17, 2011.

The board is proud to select Nassau Baptist Hospital as our choice for financial support and encourages area residents to take advantage of early tickets sales in support of both a great musical event and our primary community health care provider, Baptist Medical Center.

Hunter, NY – Bluestock is excited to announce the addition of the Robert Cray Band (See the cool video below) to the festival’s inaugural lineup, following the cancellation of the upcoming Gregg Allman tour.

5-time Grammy Award winner and Blues Hall of Fame member, Robert Cray, will bring his own band The Robert Cray Band to the Mountain. Cray has recorded and shared the stage with the best of the best in the blues world, including Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker and Bluestock’s Sunday night headliner, Buddy Guy, and has sold out venues both small and large with his band.

Upon his doctor’s orders, Gregg Allman is unfortunately being forced to cancel his August 26 through September 15 concert dates due to an upper respiratory condition. Treatment is going to involve several days of hospitalization and 4 – 6 weeks of bed rest at home. Allman continues to recover from his successful liver transplant and expects to return to touring in support of his highly acclaimed “Low Country Blues” album in the late fall.

Bluestock’s inaugural lineup also includes Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, Tommy Castro & The LRBR (featuring Joe Louis Walker, Deanna Bogart and Rick Estrin), Shemekia Copeland, Tab Benoit, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Shakura S’Aida, Curtis Salgado, Zac Harmon, Bob Margolin & Matt Hill, The Reba Russell Band, Shakura S’Aida, Mitch Woods & Billy Gibson, Moreland & Arbuckle, The Alexis P Suter Band, Trampled Under Foot, Bruce Katz, Albert Cummings, Ty Curtis, Port City Prophets and 2011 International Blues Challenge winner, the Lionel Young Band.

Bluestock will be held at world renowned Hunter Mountain Ski Resort, the home of numerous festivals including Mountain Jam and easily accessible from all over the Northeast. The site is known for its bucolic beauty, natural amphitheater and stage site lines, indoor facilities and delicious gourmet food and beer options. On-site accommodations include camping, condos, cabins and RVs.

Produced by Radio Woodstock and Steve and Jeff Simon Presents, Bluestock 2011 will be a 3-day event with music starting on Friday evening August 26th and ending early Sunday evening August 28th.
