The

taking place in Long Beach, New York every Summer since 2009 with
funding from grants provided through the NYS Council on the Arts
Decentralization Grants and administered by the Huntington Arts Council,
the Long Beach Public Library and local supporters and lovers and
supporters of the BLUES.
Our 1st Festival featured "Ladies Sing the Blues" followed by the "Delta" Juke Joint Blues experience and the 3rd highlighted the "Memphis" Blues. Our 4th Festival, which was also co-produced by Howie Haber, celebrated our local Long Island Blues Scene, our newly inducted Blues Statesmen and Women and featured local and regional performers over 4 days in a variety of venues.
