Smoky Greenwell’s New Orleans Blues Jam ::
LIVE AT THE OLD U.S MINT
When the word blues comes up for discussion in New Orleans musical circles, the name Smoky Greenwell is certain to be mentioned. Since taking up the harmonica in the 1970’s he has performed with a virtual who’s who among nationally and locally renowned musicians, including being a former member of the band War and Blues Co-op with Warren Haynes, in addition to fronting his own blues bands for many years.
 
Never previously released, Live at the Old U.S. Mint was recorded live in the Performing Arts Center of the Old U.S Mint and consists mainly of songs Smoky Greenwell has studio-recorded at other times in his long performing career. Find more details about this release

Daytona Blues Festival, October 9-11, cannot be missed!
DAYTONA BEACH, FL – The sixth annual Daytona Blues Festival, October 9-11, at historic Jackie Robinson Ballpark, downtown Daytona Beach, continues to provide the best blues experience.

Copenhagen Blues Festival & Danish Blues Awards
COPENHAGEN, DE - It's Autumn, and time for "Blue Copenhagen." From Tuesday, Sept. 22nd once again the blues will sound all over the city, and we invite all blues fans to visit the city's many clubs and venues for a week of world class international blues, and some very good homegrown blues.

The Blues is many things - it's tradition, but also innovation and evolution. The festival is famous for it's presentation of the blues in a fine balance between tradition and new expressions, and our constant musical ambition is to cover all styles of blues and to present a program of the highest possible international level. You'll find the seasoned blues veterans performing alongside some very talented young artists, who will carry the torch into the future.
