Bay City Blues Festival – Michigan Rocks!

enter It always makes me smile when I see how crazy the tour schedule is for some of these blues musicians.  Take Sugar Blue, the grammy award winning blues harp player that has been on the scene for some time, but has a renewed passion and fire to his performances lately.
