It appears summer is here in the Minnesota area, but now all it has to do is stop raining so much.
This week-end is the start of the outdoor “Blues” Festival season in Minnesota. This week-end it’s Smokin’ in Steele in Owatonna, MN. Unfortunately, I have to work and I’m also on call, so this festival is a no go for me.
Here are some festivals that I’m either going to go to or I am planning to see this summer. Everything is subject to change!!!
Well, I’ll start with an outdoor concert at Lake Harriett Bandshell. OK, not a festival, but it’s outdoors, since I need to stay around town.
Sunday, 06-04-11 Davina and the Vagabonds. Music starts at 2 pm.
Saturday, 06-11-11 Famous Dave’s Blues Festival
Saturday, 06-18-11 There are two different music events (yes, there probably are more). Hambone Music Festival in Rochester, MN that actually starts on Friday, 06-17-11 or the Santiago Shakedown. As of right now I’m planning to go to the Santiago Shakedown.
Thursday, 06-23-11 - Saturday, 06-25-11 Boundary Waters Blues Festival
Friday, 07-08-11 and Saturday, 07-09-11 Thunder Bay Blues Festival (Ontario, CA)
Saturday, 07-16-11Lakefront Jazz and Blues Festival in Prior Lake, MN
Thursday, 07-21-11 - Sunday, 07-24-11 Stillwater Lumberjack Days. Although this isn’t a Blues Festival they usually have music in the evening. I’ll have to see what bands are playing before I make a decision. As of a couple days ago the music schedule wasn’t posted.
