It's an all-weather all-star show

Put together in a few months after Stan Norem offered his place as a festival site. A core of volunteers got it done only to have the mother of all electrical storms that evening force us to shut down the stage.

Blackie & The Rodeo Kings performed a totally acoustic set in the Merch Tent while the stage crew turned the sound system around so that the All-Star Blues Revue could play to a sheltered audience.

A crowd of about 80 stalwart music fans had an unforgettable experience, two great bands playing their big blues hearts out, making the weather the last thing on people's minds.
