Shades of Blue

Join us this October as we present Shades of Blue – a weekend celebrating the blues, and highlighting the bridge between the rich traditions of the past and the vibrant future of the music.

Since its inception, the blues has set the foundation for numerous music genres like rock and roll, jazz, R&B and country - genres that have had a profound impact on global culture and have helped shape the modern music landscape. Shades of Blues will shine the spotlight on a series of artists who are contributing to the ongoing evolution of blues music, highlight the musical diversity within the genre.
