| Santa Cruz Blues Festival in Aptos |
|
May 28 & 29, 2011 Memorial Day Weekend Aptos Village Park
Once a year, a different kind of culture descends on the little beachside city of Santa Cruz. Compared to the rest of the town, the crowd that the Santa Cruz Blues Festival attracts to the Aptos Village Park is a bit more ornery, a bit thirstier, but not any less Caucasian--a curious phenomenon endemic to the blues-fest beast.
Nevertheless, since its inception 11 years ago, this festival has attracted some awful big names in blues, wrapping up its first installment with Albert Collins and including over the years acts like John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy and Charlie Musselwhite, culminating with last year's legendary headliner, the inimitable Ray Charles. Other acts such as Little Feat, Candye Kane, the Iguanas and Nina Storey have kept the festival varied and interesting. Look for Buddy Guy returning to the stage this year, along with hotshot young guitar god Johnny Lang, plus eight more bands adding to the perfect drunken outdoor blues-party soundtrack. |
