For the sake of full disclosure, I am a fan of the Blues. It is a special niche in the kaleidoscope of American music genres. That makes me very excited about Labor Day weekend 2015 in Fishers
Labor Day weekend features a celebration of The Blues in Fishers. It all starts with Blues on the Beach at Saxony Lake Friday, September 4th. The Zach Day Band and Full Throttle will provide the music. Freedom Kayak Adventures will be renting kayaks, paddle boards and pedal boats for residents to use. Food trucks will be on site during the event. The party is from 7pm to 9pm.
On Saturday, September 5th, you are invited to the Sun King Brewery Blues Festival Pre-Party at the Fishers Tap Room on 96th Street, from 2pm to 5pm. You can register to win a $100 prize pack or a free tasting for ten. The winner will be announced at 5 p.m. so you will have plenty of time to move on to the next event.
That next Saturday event will be the 3rd Annual Blues Fest presented by J and J Winery. It takes place from 6pm to 10pm at the Nickel Plate District amphitheater and includes six live performances during the festival. Blues Fest acts will include:
Mike Milligan and Steam Shovel
Naptown Revue
Storm Cellar
Queen Delphine & The Crown Jewels
Bulletproof Soul Band w/ Tony Cheeseborough
Gene Deer and The Governor Davis Band.
The festival plans to honor local blues legend, Governor Davis.
