Event organizers are promising a weekend full of authentic blues music served with a side of fresh, mouth-watering seafood.

Saturday’s performers include Allen Stone, Southern Avenue, Brandon Santini, RJ Howson, Reverend Barry & the Funk, and Someday Honey. Sunday’s lineup features Tab Benoit, Victor Wainwright & the Train, Heather Gillis, Betty Fox Horn Band, and the Broadcast.
