The Return of the Riverside Blues Festival to Murphysboro, IL

Got some great news not long ago, Murphysboro, IL is bringing back the Riverside Blues Festival! It'll be held Saturday, September 22nd. Even better news is that we've been asked to appear, along with Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials, Tawl Paul & Slappin Henry Blue, King Juba, Ivas John and the Mud Sills. It'll be held at Riverside Park in Murphysboro, Illinois, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Illinois Blues Society. We played this festival years ago and had a great time. The bands perform in the shell at the park, near the Big Muddy River. This year, the festival will be held in Murphysboro, along with the Murphysboro BBQ Cookoff. The BBQ contest wraps up earlier in the day Saturday, so you can sample the best BBQ around (17th Street BBQ in Murphysboro is a multiple winner at Memphis in May), and then head over to the shell to catch us, Lil Ed and the rest!
