The 16th Annual Porquis Blues Festival
July 5, 6, 7 2013

So here it is, finally. The line-up is complete and I have finally found time to post it. It ain’t easy being retired!

Tickets, leaflets and posters have been delivered and preparations are well on their way for the 16th edition of the Porquis Blues Festival. It really is hard to believe that we’ve been doing this for all these years!

We have no doubt that the 2013 festival musical line-up will delight you as always. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Porquis Junction and ask you to bring along a friend or two who have never been here before. Our festival’s ongoing success is rooted your loyalty and support.

Friday’s performances begin at 6:15 p.m.

Horned Ace

Al Wood And The Woodsmen

Cécile Doo-Kingué

The David Gerald Band

Saturday’s performances begin at 1:00 p.m.

Barrelhouse Blues Band from Kapuskasing

Al Lukas

Andre & The J-Tones

The Gary Kendall Band

Big Crush

Jack de Keyzer

Rocket Rached & The Fat City 8

Pancakes and French toast breakfast will be served on Saturday morning and as is most often the case, free workshops will be made available on Saturday afternoon in the Community Center.

A full menu brunch complete with live entertainment will be served up by the Porquis Agricultural Society on Sunday morning.

What we like to call “rough camping” is available on site for a very reasonable price. There is no water or hydro at the campsites. Showers are available in the Community Center however, so bring your soap and towel.

So come on out to see us, listen to some of the best Canadian blues performers around and spend another great weekend with your friends in Porquis Junction.
