The 3rd Annual Utah Blues Festival (#UBF) is the signature fundraising event for the 501(c)(3) non-profit, the Utah Blues Society. It will be held on Saturday June 17, 2017, at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City.
This is the only Festival in Utah solely dedicated to increasing awareness of a uniquely American musical/cultural art form – Blues music. This festival connects Utahns to a musical genre that has used the American experience as its voice – the Blues! By showcasing national and local Blues artists, as well as a Youth Showcase and Workshops, the UBF will provide a unique experience for Utahns to meet and connect around this culturally important musical art form, the foundation of all other American music to follow. Featured performers for 2017 include: Blues Youth Showcase; Better Off With The Blues; Harry Lee & the Back Alley Blues Band; Annika Chambers; Samantha Fish; Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers; and Kenny Neal!
