This is not Memphis, Tennessee. Not Memphis,Missouri but Memphis, Michigan. It's a Blues Festival that I help make happen. I'll give you a quick explanation of how it started:
Last year, Steven Weaver, a fellow musician and friend of mine pitched the idea about putting on a small blues show. We got approx 4 or 5 bands to participate the first year. This blues show went on August 2nd, 2008 and had much success. The Rib guy sold out in under 4 hours!
Well this is only the 2nd year and the blues festival has grown significantly. This 2009 Memphis Blues Festival is now held on two days: August 7th and 8th. We now have 10 bands playing at this small festival during the Memphis Days. Memphis, MI is small, small. It's a city with just over 1,000 people - or something like that.
I recommend you check out the Memphis Blues MI website for more details. If you're interested in coming, there is more good news. IT'S FREE.
See you there . . .
