One of the very finest Blues Festivals in the U.S. is held annually in beautiful Clearwater, Florida in February usually while the rest of the country is in a deep freeze. However, it is not just the great weather and the delicious fresh seafood that make this event a success year after year. It is the mega-load of musical talent that keeps the crowds coming back from all parts of the country including Canada! In their ninth year, the Sea Blues Festival keeps on getting better like a fine bottle of Merlot. Coachman Park located right on the waterfront and is the perfect setting for enjoying the blues. Headliners included; Amos Lee and Robert Randolph for this free two-day extravaganza. The rest of the lineup was't too shabby neither: Otis Taylor, Robben Ford, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Sena Ehrhardt, AJ Ghent Band, Jakrekus Singleton and local up and comer; Betty Fox Band. I was able to obtain a media photo pass, and had access to the stage area for photographs. So with my Nikon in one hand, and a crab-cake in the other, images of musicians were captured! See you here next year! |
