Am I wrong or is this lineup pretty underwhelming? I know some of these are decent performers but it's mostly local. They usually have one or two nationally-known artists. Who should I be excited about here?

Mavis Staples
Kenny Neal, Lil Ray Neal and Tyree Neal
Henry Gray with special guests Bob Corritore and others
William Bell
Deacon John & The Ivories
Papa Grows Funk
Jonathon "Boogie" Long
Warren Storm & Willie Tee & The Band Cypress with Special Guests
Chris Leblanc Band with a Tribute to Lazy Lester
Quiana Lynell
Greyhounds
Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor
Cedric Burnside
Lil Freddie King
Sam Hogan
Smokehouse Porter & Miss Mamie
Chicago Al & the Backburners
Harvey Knox & The Soul Spectrum Band
Darcy Malone & the Tangle
Cedric Watson
Levee Road Revue
Killer Whale
Lane Mack
Hogy & the Healers
The Excelleauxs
Zion Harmonizers
Elder Timothy Britten & Shabach
Arthur Gremillion & Friends Community Choir
DeAndre Tate & Company
April "Sexy Red" Jackson
OMT

Great if you're a low key bluesman. Yawn if you're a festival bro.

Wolfman would greatly enhance this line up imo.

That looks like a pretty decent line-up to me. I'd definitely go if I was in town.

This festival is always a good time when the weather cooperates.

Looks like a pretty good lineup for a blues festival to me. It is always a nice, chill time in general.

How much is that legendary Blues line up costing you? Gotta be a pretty penny to complain...

They've had slightly better lineups in the past, but it's not terrible. It's a free show.

Agreed. As far as free blues festivals in mid-major cities go, I'd say this is pretty damn good.

Who else was the OP expecting?
