This year’s event will feature sets from Taj Mahal, Tab Benoit, Tucka, Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, The Suffers, Little Freddie King and many more. As usual, it will be free and open to the public.

Crescent City Blues & BBQ recently unveiled its 2016 poster, which features Louisiana bluesman Tab Benoit. The piece was designed and created by New Orleans-based artist John Bukaty.
