Last night was the first of 3 days of the Riverfront Blues Festival on the Christina Riverfront in Wilmington. The big stage had Smokin' Joe Kubek and then the James Cotton Band. But in between the big acts, the side stage was, in my opinion, the place to be. You could get up close and really see the action. The two bands above are Kenny Jones and my favorite, the Randy Lippincott Band http://randylippincott.com/band-bio/ . That's Randy in the hat and the FABULOUS Smokin' Joey "Hotbox" Simon on harmonica. We had heard the band at the Media PA Blues Walk and have become big fans.
On the way back to the car, farther down the river by the cluster of restaurants, we had the opportunity to look back at the Market Street bridge opening for the Riverboat, which docks just downstream. Chugging down the river and blasting disco music, it sounded like a party goin' on! The lights on the river just added to the charm of an evening at the Riverfront Blues Festival in Wilmington, Delaware.
