Birchwood and Nemeth and company return for Blues After Dark at Headwaters Center, and Ullrs Tavern once again will feature live blues.
SUNDAY
Jimmy Vivino and the Kate Moss 3 have opening honors at 11, followed by Tinsley Ellis. The Danielle Nicole Band will feature Mike Welch. Pedal steel master Robert Randolph and the Family Band and the Allman Betts Band bring the afternoon activities to a close.
About that Allman Betts Band. This project is the collaboration of three of the sons of members of the original Allman Brothers Band: Devon Allman, son of Duane; Duane Betts, son of Dicky; and Berry Oakley, Jr.
But of course you’re not done yet. Andy Irvine’s Blues Collective with Kate Moss host the After-Fest Party and Jam at Winter Park Pub.
