The Pittsburgh Blues Festival today announced the line-up for its 16th annual offering, taking place July 23rd through July 25th at Hartwood Acres. Looks like the place will be rockin’ on Sunday, with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Tinsley Ellis, and Larry McCray all set to perform, and Eric Burdon and the Animals should give a nice show on Saturday. We’ve also heard and read some good things on Sue Foley & Peter Karp.
Here’s the line-up so far:
Friday, July 23
Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band
The Iguanas
Miss Freddye & Blue Faze
Saturday, July 24
Eric Burdon and the Animals
Sonny Moorman
Ron Yarosz and the Vehicle
Sue Foley & Peter Karp
Nick Curran & The LowLifes
Sunday, July 25
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Tinsley Ellis
Larry McCray
We’ll have much more on the festival as it draws nearer, but to help get you in the spirit (and since this year’s program is still more than two months away), check out the photos from a few festivals past (including a couple of Larry McCray from his last visit in 2007) in the BluesPowR gallery.
