for music lovers,” says Grant Stuart, the Fest’ s organizer for the past six years.“ At some music festivals, only VIPs get good seats and get to do the meet-andgreets. Here, everybody’ s a VIP— we sell a limited number of tickets so everybody can get close, and the whole event’ s a meet-and-greet. The artists are available to talk to, mingling and enjoying the music too.”
And as fantastic as the players onstage are, they’ re only half the fun. Long-timers and newcomers alike bring their own harmonicas and stringed instruments in anticipation of the Thursday night jam session Blues Fest is famous for. On Friday afternoon, BMA winner Dennis Gruenling presents a Harmonica Masters & Pros Showcase, and, for the second year, the South Central Indiana Blues Society hosts a Musical Talent Contest on Saturday.
Tents, coolers, and even dogs are welcome at Blues Fest. Attendees can set up camp all three days, or come and go as they please. Food and beverage vendors will be onsite. Parking is free, as are the courtesy shuttles provided to and from selected local hotels. Tickets are available for single days or for the entire weekend, with discounts offered on purchases made before August 1.
