Gainesville fills the weekend with blues music and artists

Posted on November 7, 2014

The soulful sound of blues will usher in the Downtown Festival & Art Show tonight (Friday) with a free Downtown Blues Concert in Gainevsille at the Bo Diddley Community Plaza from 7 to 10 p.m.

This show will kick off with Rick Randlett performing his all-original acoustic blues.  The Bridget Kelly Band will follow with an electric blues vibe that blends classic blues with elements of guitar-driven Texas and Memphis blues.  The 2014 International Blues Challenge winner, the Selwyn Birchwood Band, will take the stage at 9 p.m.
