Brunswick Music Fest

I've covered the first two Brunswick Music Fests in Brunswick, Maryland. Some of you may be asking why I haven't mentioned anything about this year's festival. I wish I was mentioning. It is a great little festival, showcasing an eclectic mix of music, which is located near me with plenty of free parking. I have good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad news, the reason I haven't mentioned it.

According to their official Facebook page:

Brunswick Music Fest is postponed till 2013. More info will be coming from Brunswick Main Street.


The bad news is there is no Fest this year. They plan to bring it back next year that is good news. You may want to go to their facebook page, if you have it and like their page and tell them you want the Music Fest!


Here is a little something from the first Fest:

Here is my review of the first one. One of the acts was this blues artist Chocolate Thunder...

You can read an interview I did with her here. Here is a preview I did for the second Fest.

The above band Beaucoup Blue band played last year's fest here is my review of their set. 


Local favorites The Kelly Bell Band played both festivals. Here is my review of their set last year. Simply put they are fun to listen to and watch! Here they are with Chocolate Thunder from the first fest:

Well here is hoping for a Fest in 2013!

Brunswick Music Fest Update

A couple of reviews of the 2011 Brunswick Music Fest have been published on the Examiner. The festival was an eclectic mix of music and my page on the Examiner is more blues so the reviews are of the Beaucoup Blue band and the Kelly Bell Band.

Here is the review of "Beaucoup Blue"  They were an eclectic band based on traditional blues but expanded quite a bit into other genres.

A picture of Kelly Bell performig life at the fest whch was too big for the Examiner.


 A bit of foreshadowing on my part as the second review was about the Kelly Bell Band which you can read here.

Brunswick Music Fest Saturday

I published my preview on the Examiner today of the Brunswick Music Fest. If you are looking for something fun to do tomorrow, the Brunswick Blues Fest is the place to go, located in Brunswick, Maryland. My previous post talked about the Woodshedders. I was going to write about the rest of the bands this week, but had some struggles with a platform.

Anyway, the second band is the Kelly Bell Band. This is a band that will get you up and shaking your tail feathers! They describe their sounds at "Phat Blues." Here is a taste of what to expect:

They were last year's headliners, so that says something about this year's lineup!

Up next is Donna Ulisse and the Poor Boys playing bluegrass.

She used to record on Atlantic Records, she tours the U.S. and has tour dates scheduled in Russia.

Philadelphia's Beaucoup Blue Band is next. They play a blues rooted mix of American a music. They have performed with or opened for artists such as  Jimmy Buffett, Jeff Beck, Johny Lang.

The festival ends with the bluegrass of The Fitzmaurice Band. Another band touring nationally, with international dates planned in Canada soon.
