Myakka River Blues Festival at the original Snook Haven in historic Old Florida on Memorial Day - Monday, May 29. Rain or shine, the event will be rockin' along the River from 11 AM to 5 PM.
This year's festival will be the last event hosted by the iconic and historic "good Ole' Florida" Snook Haven before next spring's construction begins on the Sarasota County park it's located in.

The lineup for this year’s festival will appeal to all audiences, with styles from American electric and soul blues, international blues and swing to everything in between:

12:00 p.m - 1:00 p.m: Joey Gilmore
1:30 p.m - 3:00 p.m: Doug Deming & the Jewel Tones
3:30 p.m - 5:00 p.m: Liz Mandeville

Kicking off the bash is Joey Gilmore, one of the last of the legends alive at 78 years old. He's an American electric blues and soul blues singer, songwriter and guitarist.
Following is Eastside Detroit native Doug Deming and the Jewel Tones. Now hailing from Florida’s Gulf Coast, he's garnered widespread attention for his deft guitar work and memorable songwriting.

American vocalist, songwriter and Chicago blues musician Liz Mandeville will finish out the day. She's known for her versatile voice, high-voltage performances, insightful songs and traditional blues guitar playing. She has written and produced hundreds of original songs, has received critical acclaim and has toured internationally. She also owns the record label Blue Kitty Music.
