Time: May 16th -18th
Place: Mount Dora Florida
The Blues ascended on the small town of Mount Dora Florida over a picture perfect weekend just this past May. Known for it's antiques, art, craft shops and restaurants, quaint and beautiful Mount Dora hosted their Sixth annual blues festival in conjunction with the Orange Blossom Blues Society and is getting bigger and better as the years go by. Can you believe three national acts were the headliners for the three day event?; Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers, Ana Popovic and Pat Travers. Add to that some great up and coming talent with the likes of Selwyn Birchwood, Joel DaSilva & The Midnight Howl, Big Bill Morganfield, Paul Stott Group and Jerry J's Triple Shot, & you have got a great recipe for some savory roots music!
Via this blog in the weeks to come, in depth articles and photographs will be posted on the highlights of this enjoyable festival. I already have my calendar circled for next year's extravaganza. I was fortunate to have access around the stage area, of course I had my trusty Nikon, so I captured some of the sights! Enjoy.
