More sad news.Due to the coronavirus outbreak we are unable to produce the 2020 Boundary Waters Blues Fest
20th anniversary event.
This has been a difficult decision, but I can't proceed with the booking process this far into the calendar year without being able to see the future and, potentially, compromising the quality of the event.
As things evolve, I will post updates about the future of this event at www.elyblues.com.
Thank you all for your support and understanding.

stay safe! -MJ
