Another Magical Event

Spring gives us Homegrown. Fall, Roots. And now, thanks to Chicago Bob Dougherty, summer gives us Bend Blues Fest.

On a chilly Saturday at Silver Moon music lovers were treated to a remarkable day of nonstop blues.

The talent was undeniable, and the joy displayed by the bands was reciprocated by the dancing crowd.

Everyone there ignored the weather and realized we were part of something truly special unfolding before our eyes and ears.

Thank you Bob, and all of the sponsors that helped make it happen, as well as Silver Moon for hosting. Already excited for next year.
