Blue Tavern
Spills Out Into The Parking Lot!
After a year and a half in
business, Blue Tavern is set to host its first blues festival. Backyard Blues
will be an all-day, all-ages event, rain or shine with indoor and outdoor
stages. An outdoor stage will be in the alley/green space behind the building,
accessible from 5th Avenue. Music starts at 3 pm on Saturday, May 19, and lasts
til after midnight.
Those who are acquainted
with Blue Tavern know the venue hosts a multitude of music styles and genres,
but the first love of the owner, Maggie McKeown [pronounce mik-KEW-en] is down
home blues. The purpose of the festival is to promote blues music in the
community, but mainly to have fun and provide an event for everyone to enjoy.
The lineup includes Sir
Charles Atkins & his New Blue Band, Avis Berry, Brett Wellman & Chris
Balding, Darryl Steele and friends, Belmont & Jones, Jon Copps, Frank
Lindamood, Caleb Vaughn, and Gainesville’s favorite blues outfit – the Bridget
Kelly Band.
The Tavern's kitchen will be
open all day, and outside food vendors will be on hand to supplement the
regular fare. Beer, wine, coffee, tea, and sodas are available inside. No
coolers, please – but lawn chairs are encouraged.
Parking is available in lots
nearby and on several side streets. Look for the blue-and-white signs! There is
a bike rack for those wishing to pedal their way to the festival.
Tickets are available for
purchase at the Tavern and at MusicMasters, or on-line at bluetaverntallahassee.com.
Advance tickets are $20, $25 at the gate.
