Midwest Festing in the Summertime - Bryan Lee Day Celebration Up Next!


As summer heat comes 'round,
and hurricane rains come down,
the festivals move on up-town.
(way, way way up-town!)
Northern cool is calling
the Jazz & Blues...

With R/T airfare from Sanford FL to Rockford IL as low as
$129 (Allegiant Air), it's time to consider a run to
a festival or two in the north!

Here are some that you might 
see Jazz & Blues Florida at!

Saturday, July 10, 2021 ~ 1pm-8:30pm - FREE
Central Park
1703 Washington Street, Two Rivers, WI 54241

A day of blues music, refreshments and more in honor of 
Bryan Lee, the “Braille Blues Daddy.”

The artist, born Brian Leroy Kumbalek in 1943 in Two Rivers, WI, passed away last year. He began performing professionally at the age of 13 despite the complete loss of eyesight since age eight. He was based in New Orleans much of his career, and was a fixture on Bourbon Street since the 1980s. Bryan moved to Florida and was a blues road warrior to the very end. 

Performances by Cathy Grier and the Troublemakers, Reverend Raven and the Chain Smokin’ Altar Boys featuring Westside Andy, Billy Flynn & Friends, Bryan Lee Express, The Flight Crew, The Milwaukee All Stars, Six String Therapy – and more!
