Canadian Blues Fest

Big fest in Edmonton Canada, coming up on August 24-25. Los Lobos headlines the festival. I know that some hard core blues fans may not get to excited about Los Lobos, but they do play blues, and backed up John Lee Hooker on one of his later recordings.


Here is the line up for the show from the festival webpage.
