😎 ARTIST LINEUP
6:30 PM – Levi Platero (Tohajiilee, NM)
NAMA (Native American Music Awards) Winner – Best Blues Recording. From the Navajo Nation, Levi’s smooth, melodic phrasing and Texas-blues fire make him a standout guitarist and soulful storyteller.
7:50 PM – Bywater Call (Toronto, Canada)
Back by popular demand, 2020 Maple Blues Award Nominee – Entertainer of the Year, New Artist of the Year. A fusion of Southern soul, blues-rock, and powerful horns. Led by the powerhouse vocalist Meghan Parnell and guitarist Dave Barnes, this 7-piece band brings deep emotion and high energy.
9:20 PM – Cardinal Black (Wales, UK)
Chris Buck – Guitar World’s 2023 “Best New Guitarist in the World.” With Tom Hollister’s soaring vocals and Buck’s dynamic guitar, this Welsh band delivers an epic, modern take on blues-infused rock. Back by popular demand after stealing the hearts of PwF's fans last year.

🎁 Don’t Forget the Artist Merch! CASH is King!
Every artist this weekend will bring limited-edition merch—CDs, vinyl, shirts, and more. Grab something to remember the night and support the artists who help keep the music we all love burning in our souls.
💳 Artists manage their own credit apps once at the merch table, so swing by before you walk out the door, charge it, and tell the artists how much you appreciate them keeping the blues alive. Thank You!
