Like last year, we have a dedicated Local’s Stage that fires up between each band on the Main Stage. We have reconfigured the layout and location of the Local’s Stage to face West. That way, the crowd will be able to see and hear our local solo/duo acts. The stage is sponsored by the Gallivan Center, Feldman’s Deli & HYPHA. Make sure you check it out! Thank you!

“My Voice (Ruf Records), by Laura Chavez, has no vocals. Her voice is her guitar. On this, her debut, the San Diego composer-producer stings her electric on great tracks like John Fogerty's 1969 ‘Born On The Bayou,’ ‘Chinese Checkers’ (originally recorded by Booker T & The MGs in 1965), the folkloric 1930 Mariachi standard ‘El Cascabel,’ ‘So Long Baby Goodbye’ (from The Blasters in 1981) and even ‘La Llorona,’ the 19th Century Mexican weeper, plus five more.”—Mike Greenblatt

Last year we paid homage to the late, John Paul Brophey and his contribution to the local blues music scene (Dead Goat). This year, on Friday night, before Tommy Castro, we honor Otto Mileti and the iconic Zephyr Club! ANYONE of a certain age, spent many a night at his club. In fact, dozens of people met their future partners at the Zephyr. Otto will be at the festival all weekend, so come down and say hello and tell us your favorite memories. Here are a few pics to get those memories going. Hopefully we’ll get him to pull out his sax for the after fest jams. Word is, he may have some vintage Zephyr Club shirts!!

I’ve always wanted to bring some Zydeco to the festival. The King of Zydeco, Clifton Chenier, used to play the Zephyr and blew the doors off the place. Dwayne Dopsie & the Zydeco Hellraisers will be doing that on Saturday June 13th! He played with The Rolling Stones at Jazz Fest, come see why!! Tickets & info at UtahBluesFest.org
