It is that time of year again and none to soon. Below is the info from the press release. I'll be sharing announcing duties with Don Paterson and will likely pour a beer or a 100 under the tree with Ms. Jo and her amazing Traveling Bar. Come down bring a couple of cans of food, enjoy the ever so hip and cool vibe.
Boise, ID- The Boise Blues Society announced today the Sunday Blues Picnic to take place on Sunday, July 15, 2007 at Julia Davis Park, located near Zoo Boise. Concessions will open at Noon and the music begins at Noon and goes until 6:00 pm. Admission is just two cans of food which benefits the Idaho Food Bank. Food, wine, beer, soft drinks, and water are for sale on site. Or bring your own picnic basket but remember “No outside alcohol permitted!†Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, sunscreen and dancing shoes! This event is in its 16th year and is one of the longest running events in the City of Boise, ID.
The headliner is northwest favorite Jimmy Lloyd Rea.
JIMMY LLOYD IS A MASTER OF THE 'REAL DEAL, FLY BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS, JUST PLAY THE LOWDOWN ROCKIN', GOOD OLD BLUES. IF YOU WANT IT PRETTY AND FANCY AND OVER-REHEARSED, YOU’VE GOT THE WRONG GUY. JLR KEEPS IT LOWDOWN, LOUD, ROWDY AND ROCKIN'. GOOD, BIG GROOVIN' BLUES THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Other bands taking the stage are Deja Bluez, Richard Soliz & The Blue Rayz, and The Hoochie Coochie Men.
And....join Jimmy and some of the other players at a jam session after the picnic down at Terrapin Station (16th & Main, Boise, ID).
