| Description |
For the third year running Caffe Lena sets aside a full day to celebrate one of its most popular styles of music, acoustic blues. In a room that has hosted some of the genres best known players, including Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Honeyboy Edwards, Dave Van Ronk and John Hammond, blues fans will get a chance to participate in workshops and hear new and old blues songs in a round-robin style concert.
The festivals featured performers are:
