ABOUT
For 21 years, Chad Kassem held Blues Masters at the Crossroads concerts at Blue Heaven Studios, a gothic church with extraordinary acoustics which was retrofitted as a world class recording studio. These shows were a love letter to the old masters of blues music and an opportunity to preserve their art. As an homage to the Blues Masters, the first two nights of concerts will be held at the church.
The final night will be at Salina’s historic Stiefel Theatre, which can house over twice the amount of guests.
Special Industry Guests
Get a chance to hang out and talk vinyl with industry legends, including Don MacInnis (RTI), Michael Fremer (Tracking Angle),
and Daryl Wilson (Wilson Audio).
Whether you are a lifelong audiophile, a blues fanatic, or a vinyl collector, this is an event you cannot miss.
Come celebrate 40 years of Acoustic Sounds with us!
