New River Blues Festival 2012

August 28, 2012

How does dancing in a mountain meadow by a sparkling river to world-class blues sound? The 10th Annual New River Blues Festival 2012 is making that blues-lover's fantasy a reality this Sunday, September 2, at the River House Inn, in beautiful Grassy Creek, NC, on the shores of the New River.

Gates open at noon, the music Starts at 1:00pm, and it’ll be performed live by world-renowned Grammy-nominated Piedmont Blues giant John Dee Holeman, Blues Hall of Fame Master Blues Artist Chick Willis, Mac Arnold, Sandra Hall and more including David's guests New River Blues festival directors Penny "Queen Bee" Zamagni and Rob "Hound Dog" Baskerville. Together they form The King Bees, and they’ve been stingin’ and swingin’ for 25 years with the likes of Bo Diddley, Carey Bell, B.B. King, Nappy Brown and many others. They both sat down to talk blues with TAUC host David Ford.

Tune in Friday afternoon at 1:00pm for The King Bees Live in Studio A!
