25th Ojai Bowlful of Blues
WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT THE 25TH BOWLFUL OF BLUES ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2018 IN OJAI"S FAMED LIBBEY BOWL.
A celebration of the blues and community will take place on Saturday, September 22, when Bowlful of Blues rolls and rocks into Ojai's Libbey Bowl for its 25th edition! Headlining the festival, on a national tour for Alligator Records, is acclaimed young blues guitarist Selwyn Birchwood, described by Rolling Stone as a major player and remarkable contemporary bluesman.
In addition to Selwyn, Libbey Bowl will be filled to the brim with the Texas Blues/New Orleans R&B of Teresa James & the Rhythm Tramps, West Coast/Chicago style harmonica master Rod Piazza with special guest Carl Sonny Leyland, the Louisiana mix of Hot Roux, and the electrifying Kwan Telifaro Project. So mark your calendars for Saturday, September 22, from 4:00 to 9:30 p.m. in downtown Ojai.
A limited number of vendor spaces are available for food, crafts, and blues-related items. Volunteers are welcomed to help staff the event. For all information visit bowlfulofblues.org and facebook.com/OjaiBowlful.
