If you look closely at this photo of the Hartwood Acres stage, you'll notice a little white canopy off to the left. That's going to be Hartwood Acres Branch of the BlueNotes World Headquarters for the next few days.
That's where I'll be blogging and photographing the bands, the fans, or anything else that crosses my mind. The weather was perfect yesterday, but unfortunately the festival had not yet begun. Stop by and say hello. It's absolutely free.
I've had a couple of questions about the schedule, and the specific times for the bands. All the information I had was in the schedule we published yesterday in the Weekend Mag and here. It's the same schedule that's listed on the blues festival's Web site. If I can find out anything more today, I'll post it here.
I should also remind anyone planning to go tonight that the admission is free, IF you bring a bag of nonperishable food items for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, which benefits from the entire weekend. No frozen dinners, please!
It should be a good weekend for blues in the Burgh. Stop by and find some music you like.
Tonight's lineup: Sweaty Betty Blues Band; Blue Lunch; Lil' Brian & the Zydeco Travelers; Tab Benoit. The gates open at 4 p.m. If you absolutely can't make it, join me here. Or join me here later and post your own comments.
