Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival Benefit Concert

The benefit concert will feature three nationally renowned acts--Louisiana bluesman Kenny Neal, soul vocalist Jackie Payne with guitarist Steve Edmonson and “Lady Guitar” Pat Wilder. There will also be a raffle of posters, CD’s, T-shirts, and festival related memorabilia.

The Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival (formerly known as King Biscuit Blues Festival) is presented by the Sonny Boy Blues Society, a 501 c 3 organization. The King Biscuit Blues Festival began in 1986 as a one-day musical tribute to the Blues roots of Helena and the man at those roots, Sonny Boy Williamson. What started out as a small festival has gained a reputation throughout the world and is now a three-day affair. The 24th annual festival will be October 8, 9 and 10, 2009 in Helena, Arkansas.

With dwindling corporate sponsorship, festivals are experiencing financial hardships and this benefit concert will be an opportunity to support a valuable blues cultural resource.
