By 2 Left Feet Blues Festival
The lineup is set!
On Saturday, Sept. 13, we will welcome seven great artists to the stage in East Hartland.
Jake Kulak, Johnny Rawls, The Balkun Brothers, and Albert Castiglia are included.
Also performing will be Debbie Davies, an award-winning singer, songwriter, guitar player of extraordinary talent. A professional musician since the early 1980s, Davies ranks among the top blues artists in the country. She has received ten nominations for Blues Music Awards, and in 1997 and 2010 won the award for Best Contemporary Female Blues Artist.
The Stacy Brooks Band will also be performing. Brooks started singing at the age of 5 in Zweibruken Germany at an Army show and after her first standing ovation there was no looking back. Fast forward to the present, with her diverse background she continues to give you toe tapping, head bobbing feel good music that crosses all barriers.
Johnny Sansone will also be taking part in the second annual 2 Left Feet Blues Festival. Sansone has nine Blues Music award nominations (winning song of the year 2012), a Grammy nomination, 2013 Best Harmonica Player, New Orleans Best of the Beat Awards and is nominated for song of the year for “The Night the Pie Factory Burned Down” - and best male contemporary Blues artist.
