Blues Fest kicked off Labor Day weekend with lots of jams. After a great jam session with Hairy Larry and The Flying Hungarians the Lydia Warren Band took the stage.
Lydia was in fine form and fans were in abundance to see her do her thing. She really knows how to wow an audience.
Lydia's band, bassist Matt Malikowski and drummer Warren Grant, gave her a firm foundation to show off her lead guitar work.
The band stuck around for autographs and pictures but then had to hit the road for Memphis where they were playing at Huey's.
The Mudcats, Hairy Larry, Bob Garrison, Randy Gambill and George Hinds, followed Lydia with a set of solid Blues and Rock. Then they invited John Shepherd to take over on lead and they kicked it up another notch.
Other jammers included Kier Heyl, Ricky Rooker, Brandi Hager, Shane Chastain, Dave Raymond, MadDog, Jim Bishop and Jason Whelchel
