Reno - Tahoe Blues Fest ~ August 12 - 16, 2009

Bring your blankets or lawn chairs for outdoor lawn seating at the 5th annual Reno-Tahoe Blues Fest for this two-day traditional blues, R&B, soul and blues-rock fest!

Held each year at the Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno, this years line-up includes performances by James Ingram, Tommy Castro, Floyd Taylor, Jonny Lang, Lil Dave Thompson, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Shirley Brown and The Emotions!

Terrie, Heuy Lewis was one of my favorites when I was a teenager. I didn't even know they were still playing. These all sound great!

You have so many great things going on in and around your area. I'm getting a sour attitude toward my neck of the woods - - they need to get their heads out of the sand. Better yet, I need to escape. ;-)

Jane ~ Huey Lewis and The News was one of my favorites as well. They played in Reno a few times in the 80's.

Susie ~ Feel free to call me and come out for a visit! A change of scenery always does a body/soul some good!

Don ~ Thank you!

Kristin~ Haha, no summer-fest just a little jazz! These festivals are always a lot of fun and bring out a lot of people!

That sounds like a lot of fun. There is nothing like live music, for me. I have seen Huey Lewis and The News a couple of times, they put on a good show.

Terrie - What a great post! Thanks! We tend to take the beautiful Tahoe basin for granted ... It's truly a gem and we are lucky to have it in our own back yard! Thanks!

I used to go to Music Festivals quite often but then ticket prices got out of control. If one wanted to go to all the events, one would easily be bankrupt.

Hi Terrie -- What a fun time and what I would imagine is a very scenic site to host! There is nothing better than music in the summertime, especially under the stars! :-)))

Hey Terrie - I guess if we are not having fun it's our own fault. Thanks for the great blog!

Sorry for the hiccup on this post this morning Terrie. I didn't mean to 'remove' it from this group - Just meant to end the feature since Summer is over. You can ignore the email it sent over to you. Thanks!
