I started a quest to find terrific jazz and blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment.

The River City Blues Society of Virginia is proud to announce the second annual Parkfest Blues Festival on Saturday, May 3, 2014, at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield County, VA


The Festival begins with In Layman Terms and The UnXpected
– a new generation of blues musicians
 
The music will continue with the RCBS Band Entry to the 2014 IBC, Herbie D and the Dangermen
 
Local favorites representing the Ellersoul Record Label come together for your enjoyment as the Ellersoul Blues and Soul Revue. 
 
Moreland and Arbuckle, from Wichita, Kansas are sure to amaze the crowd as the three piece band tears up the stage. It is no wonder that their album, 7 Cities, is a top blues album. If you have not seen them before, you won’t forget them after their set. 
 
The evening will end with Albert Cummings. When it comes to blues guitar, Cummings is the real deal, not to mention a talented front man and singer. His recent album, No Regrets, debuted at No. 1 in the U.S., Canada and France on the iTunes Blues Charts and at No. 5 on the Billboard blues charts. 
 
The festival is set in the Heritage Amphitheater where there is not a bad seat in the house as the stage is elevated. There is ample parking, plenty of shade. The amphitheater has seating and a grassy slope where spectators can set up chairs and blankets.
