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:

[Mark Tolstrup]  Mark specializes in bottleneck Delta blues and sings both classics and new blues songs with a powerful, soulful voice. He has sold out many concerts at Caffe Lena and now tours regularly along the east coast.

[Thomasina Winslow] - Thomasina spent her childhood performing and touring with her father, renowned bluesman Tom Winslow. Now a mature talent in her own right, Thomasina blends classics with her own deep originals.

[Beaucoup Blue] - This Philadelphia father-and-son duo offer arrestingly soulful songs based in blues tradition. They play a handsome range of instruments and blend voices like only family members can.
