Last year it was March 9th and hot 🥵

Fabulous, raw debut performance from Palmer musical community: Angela and Ian’s Duo “As Good As It Gets”! Angela was only the fourth female performer of the event, so come on women who play or sing the blues, let us know you are out there for next years Bear Rock Bluesfest!

Our brilliant sound engineers definitely had the butterfly effect going. Stand still and the monarchs would land on you too.
Bear Rock Blues Fest wishes to thank the effortlessly talented Ben from Midnight Radio and our sound engineers on the second stage for running gear all day. Big thanks.
