Uploaded on 13 March, 2011

The inaugural 2010 South Orange International Blues Festival (SOIBF) will be a free day-long outdoor live blues festival encompassing a range of live blues music from its “roots” to modern electric. Taking place on Sunday, September 12, 2010, festival events will be staged in the heart of South Orange’s quaint downtown area with the concert and main festival grounds located at Flood’s Hill–a casual stroll’s length away. Festival events will be preceded by pre-festival promotional activities tying in local artists, Village restaurants and clubs with the spirit of the festival.
The performing acts will include a cross section of Blues-influenced artists from across the Blues diaspora. Fifteen to twenty bands will represent the excitement and diversity of blues music. Featured renowned acts include Henry Butler, Laura Chavez, David Stryker, the Reddan Brothers, the Blues Mob featuring Michael Hill, Colin John Band, and the One & Nines, to name a few. In addition, local youth and adult blues bands will audition at “Blues Battlegrounds” in the weeks preceding the festival to determine which local talent will secure coveted spots to perform at the September 12 festival.
