The last day of this years Bluesfest is probably the one I most looking forward to. The Smile as headliners was just my thing. I’ve been a huge Radiohead thing for a long time and The Smile’s music doesn’t stray very far with Them and Jonny at the helm. What a way to end this year’s Bluesfest!
I was also excited to catch some performances from a bunch of locals I hadn’t seen before including Paragon Cause, Eazy Finesse, Steph La Rochelle and Megan Jerome. All were impressive with strong performances showing that they deserved to take the stage at Bluesfest.
