The Performers

Gabe Stillman Band (8:30-10:00PM) - "One of the most promising young blues talents on the scene today. Gabe is a fine songwriter, excellent guitarist and strong singer, plus he puts on an exciting, energized show...Don’t miss him!"- Alligator Records

The Nighthawks (6:45PM-8:00PM) - "For over 50 years, The Nighthawks have been traveling the country, playing low down dirty blues and roots-rock....their music continues to be a free-wheeling mix of blues, R&B, honky-tonk country, and rockabilly."

Sol Roots (5:15-6:30PM) - "Sol is a fierce guitarist and soulful singer."- JamBase

“Sol's vocalizing reminds me of Mose Allison...Van Morrison, and Mississippi Hill Country blues performers.” - Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine

Mike Goudreau (3:45-5:00PM) - "Quality Canadian blues...solid and unpretentious ...swings with snappy sincerity and crisp energy." - @Blues Revue Magazine

Ken Farmer and the Authenticators (2:30-3:30PM) - CVBS' own member's band. If you feel good and want to feel better, or if you need to chase away your blues, Ken Farmer & The Authenticators is the only prescription. Only real, Authenticator music for the heart & soul.
