From modest beginnings as a neighborhood street fair, Aurora, Illinois’ Blues on the Fox music festival will celebrate it’s 20th anniversary in style this June 17th and 18th. The party kicks off Friday night at 7pm with Marcia Ball, winner of numerous awards for her albums, vocals and keyboard skills, while 5-time Grammy Award Winner, Robert Cray, does his thing to please the masses.
On Saturday, the festivities begin with Leland, followed by blues guitar legend, Larry McCray. The Blues On the Fox 2016 lineup concludes with two more Grammy winners, Los Lobos, and, Tedeschi Trucks Band. Tedeschi Trucks Band grabbed a Grammy in 2012 for their album, Revelator, however, many feel their recent release, Let Me Get By, is their strongest offering yet.
