The Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival has raised over one million dollars for a number of different charities. Bluesfest Byron Bay has grown into a 5-day event presenting over 200 performances. Both these festivals feature renowned headliners, beautiful settings and truly contribute to the blues scene. As such, they are the deserving recipients of the Blues Foundation’s 2018 Keeping the Blues Alive Award!
