If you’re unfamiliar with the bands and musicians that are playing the 2013 Ferndale Blues & Music Festival, we could see how that enormous list of performances might be daunting. So we’ve decided to handicap the schedule for you, and maybe make things a little easier on you. Of course, any performance you choose has the potential to be exhilarating, these are just little nuggets of bluesy suggestion.
Monday 1/28
Ryan Dillaha at One-Eyed Betty’s @ 8:30pm
Forever nattily dressed (like any good bluesman), Dillaha may not be a blues player per se, but the guy knows his way around a song, that’s for sure. Excellent songwriter.
Tuesday 1/29
Festival Open Mic at Dino’s Lounge @ 9pm
Maybe you play yourself. Or maybe you’re wanting a little variety throughout the night. Either way, you’re guaranteed some great performances from some of the most talented songwriters in the country: Detroiters.
Wednesday 1/30
All Star Blues Jam at the New Way Bar @ 9pm
This place is pumping out blues all year round, so expect some talented cats to be taking the stage.
Thursday 1/31
Beth Stalker at John D. Bistro @ 9pm
Not just a pretty face, this singer/songwriter, recording artist, and model can SING.
Friday 2/1
Luther ‘Badman’ Keith at Howe’s Bayou ‘after dinner’
You wanna hear the blues? Then you gotta see the Badman. This guy is the real deal and entertaining as all get out.
Saturday 2/2
The Reefermen at Dino’s Lounge @ 9:30pm
Local legends when it comes to the bar scene. These guys are big time and always put on a great show.
