The 29 th Annual Silver City Blues Festival will take place over Memorial Day weekend May 24-26, at Gough Park in Silver City, NM. This year’s festival will be back to a 3 DAY EVENT starting with our Friday Kick Off at local venues around Silver City and followed by 2 FREE days of Blues at the park! This event is supported by local businesses and individual blues lovers, and especially by donations from attendees!
The festival is pleased to present nine amazing performers including:
Kelli Baker Band: A powerful voice dripping with a haunting sensuality that slips easily into growling old school blues-tones. Kelli and her band's music is an amalgamation of authentic blues/rock and heart-on-her-sleeve singer/songwriter pop with folk/gospel roots.Felix Y Los Gatos is back again to get people dancing with that mix of Zydeco, Tex-Mex, Blues, Gypsy/Jazz, and Swing with a dash of Outlaw Country. Come hear the mesmerizing and mystical sound of Santana-style Latino Soul Blues.Silver City's Own, Illusion Band. A versatile and well-loved local group, playing a variety of music including Tejano, Country, Oldies, and for this event, Blues!
