BLUES & BBQ FESTIVAL

Blues, BBQ and Beer?  We’re packing a powerful punch this summer – national, regional and local blues artists will rock the Newport waterfront for a full day of soulful riffs, cold brews and a mouth-watering pig roast.

The Newport Yachting Center boasts a rich blues history with our concert series, including Robert Cray, John Hiatt, Jimmie Vaughan, Little Feat, Susan Tedeschi, Shemekia Copeland, BB King, Keb Mo, etc. Not to mention local legends, James Montgomery and Duke Robillard.  This year we’re launching a full festival to give you more blues…and we mean the “blues” in a good way!

Stay tuned as we unveil the lineup set for August 18th, 2012 and be sure to sign up for the Newport Waterfront E-411 newsletter and follow us on Facebook to get the scoop first!
