Briggs Farm Blues Festival will host a weekend of live music and social gathering July 8, 9, & 10, 2021! The world-class line up ready to rock the 24th annual blues festival includes established blues acts who routinely grace the international stage, national home-grown artists, and local talent bursting at the seams with gritty guitar riffs and searing vocals. This not to be missed musical event will charge the hot summer air with one heck of a party!
For the past two decades, the peaceful setting at Briggs Farm has provided the backdrop for three days of foot-stomping tunes and musicians who know how to get an audience on their feet. With two stages and over twenty acts featuring various genres including eclectic blues, delta-style blues, Americana roots music, soul and a bit of funk; Briggs Farm Blues Festival is a music lovers’ paradise.
Festival president Richard Briggs states, “Live music creates a special thread of connection. There’s’ no limit to what music can do to bring us all together, and we need that more than ever.”
The music will begin Thursday July 8th with sounds from 1970, offering reminders of fun times, great friends, and Jimi Hendrix! Festival goers can expect to hear renditions of the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, and Creedence Clearwater Revival to name a few!
Friday July 9th will usher in the Blues with a powerful lineup including headliner Ana Popovic, Lil’Ed and the Blues Imperials, the harmonizing Campbell Brothers, and the incomparable Celisse Henderson! The music will carry into Saturday, July 10th with headliner Shemekia Copeland, the unforgettable Victor Wainwright, Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues, and the eccentric Scott Pemberton. While the Main Stage is rockin’, the intimate Back Porch Stage at Briggs Farm bursts with unforgettable artists such as The National Reserve, Gracie Curran, King Solomon Hicks, Gabe Stillman, Swampcandy and more.
The family-oriented festival, just a few miles off Interstate 80, also offers on-site camping, a vendor village full of high quality, hand crafted items and a variety of delicious food. Patrons can bring in their own beverages, coolers, and snacks. Tickets for the event will go on sale January 15th. More information and ticket purchasing options can be found on their website at briggsfarm.com.
