Maine Blues Festival – June 15, 16 & 17 – 2018

The mission of The Maine Blues Festival is to promote blues music as a uniquely American idiom and art form, to facilitate prominent, high visibility performance opportunities for as many Maine-based Blues Artists as possible before as large an aggregate audience as possible, and to support education programs in Maine public schools and colleges. The Maine Blues Festival operates from the belief that “local business is good business”, that “local art is good art,” and is a concrete example of “the creative economy in Maine.”
