DSBS would like to thank the many members of the
Bucks County Blues
Society whose help with artist
announcing, stage management and equipment changes makes a smooth-running
event possible!

entrances, poured the brews,
and assisted wherever they were needed.
THANKS TO YOU ALL!!

Then
Gary Alligretto & the Delaware
All-Stars hit the stage...
And closing out Friday night it was
The Mannish Boys...
After some morning rains, Saturday dawned
bright and sunny...and first up was
Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets with James Harman
Next up was the incredible
Michael Burks...
Followed by
Sharrie Williams &
the Wise Guys...
Then guitar virtuoso Larry
McCray...
Next it was "King of the Slide," that
incredible "Slide Slinger," the one and only
Lil Ed & the Blues Imperials...
Then closing out the Saturday
Festival was Blues legend
Koko
Taylor and her Blues Machine...and
they were OUTSTANDING.
But our photographers must have been so enthralled that no
pictures were
forwarded to us of her performance!!
And then there is Sunday...which began
with monsoon-like rains, winds and hail. The stage crew,
to their commendation, worked HARD all morning to get all of the
electronics and stage dried-out
so a safe show could commence. And, only an hour later
than scheduled, the party began again
under sunny skies...for a while...
Opening Sunday's festivities was
Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers...
And as we continued to keep our fingers
crossed that the
weather would hold, Sugar Blue
took the stage...
Then,
as the skies
began to darken,
Elvin Bishop,
the
festival's last artist,
took the stage...
It was
an Outstanding
Weekend of
the Blues...
'till next year...
when we'll all get together
and do it again!!
