19th Annual Chenango Blues Fest: August 19-20, 2011

Now in it’s 19th year, The Chenango Blues Fest has repeatedly presented it’s attendees with the higest quality Blues performers available. In 2010 it gave us John Nemeth, E.G. Kight Watermelon Slim & Marica Ball. Back in 2007 Janiva Magness, Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers and Eric Lindell.  Ok so go back to 1997 Koko Taylor & CoCo Momtoya….folks it doesn’t get much better than this.
With Friday a free night for the community and music fans, and Saturday featuring two stages all for the ridiculous price of $20 advance and $25 at the door (I suggest paying $25, they can use the extra $5) it is by far one of the best values around.
Not only do they offer this festival, they provide 5 free community concerts in the all too short summer season.
So if you are on the East Side of town, say from Hunter Mountain area, Albany, Peeksill, Buffalo, Rome, to Toronto, New Hampsire, Vermont and the like, get yerself down to what has been aptly monikered ‘the best one day festival, anywhere’.
