Because that is the day everyone who is lucky - and smart enough - to be at Elk Creek Vineyards will be enjoying the biggest and best Blues Festival this side of the Mississippi Delta. The 2008 Elk Creek Vineyards Blues Festival will feature the unbelievable five-time Grammy award winner Buddy Guy along with one of the “hottest blues bands ever heard” Roomful of Blues and the amazing Sonny Moorman Group.

Believe me when I tell you that by the time this Festival is over, you will not be able to get to your Ipod fast enough to start downloading the Blues!
Buddy Guy - ”The best guitar player alive,” Eric Clapton; “Without Buddy Guy there would be no Stevie Ray Vaughan” Stevie Ray Vaughan; “Heaven is lying at Buddy Guy’s feet while listening to him play guitar” Jimi Hendrix. Need I say more?
Roomful of Blues - Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card as does their ability to fill the dance floor. “This is a band on top of its game, sliding easily from big band jazz-blues to guitar drenched urban-blues…let the party begin”, Chicago Sun Times
Sonny Moorman Group - “Pounding, high-volume blues/rock that opens the throttle”, Living Blues Magazine. They recently won the 2006 Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Blues. This is one band that you don’t want to miss!
