The dates for the 6th Annual 2012 Waukesha BluesFest have been announced for Friday, August 10 and Saturday, August 11, 2012.
Music runs from 1pm to 10:30pm each day with a total of 14 acts over the two day festival. The event takes place under a large tent providing a comfortable atmosphere for enjoyment of some fine “Blues” music.
The title of Waukesha BluesFest “An American Music and Art Festival” was chosen for the festival based on the vast popularity of the “Blues” music genre nationwide as well as the wide swath of American music which falls under the general umbrella of Blues. These include traditional and contemporary Blues, Rhythm and Blues (R&B), Soul, Gospel and Roots music, as well as Country and Rock and Roll influences.
Since the debut of the festival we have been proud to present some great national acts including Booker T. and The MG’s, Mavis Staples, Shemekia Copeland, The Holmes Brothers, Ollabelle, Eddie Shaw, Smokin’ Joe Kubek Band featuring Bnois King, Patrick Sweany, Doyle Bramhall, Popa Chubby, The Bel Airs, Bryan Lee, Tarbox Ramblers, Sonny Landreth, Gina Sicilia, Greg Koch, Big James Montgomery, Tommy Castro Band, Chris Duarte Group, Duke Tumatoe & The Power Trio, Samuel James, Shane Dwight, John Mayall and Savoy Brown.
