Fran Banish
This year’s Old Town Blues Festival features performers from all over Arizona, including Arizona Blues Hall of Famer Tommy Dukes, and a return headlining performance by California’s Fran Banish.
Opening the nonstop festival will be local and Arizona guitar legend Llory McDonald. Llory’s been entertaining folks, both as a solo performer and with her legendary band Combo Deluxe, for over 20 years. Her shows are always high energy and almost always to standing-room-only audiences.
Bresnan Blues Band
The rest of the afternoon will feature the Outback Blues Band – a 4-piece rocking blues band from Phoenix, the Bresnan Blues Band – a power quartet from Sedona with a great mix of originals and covers, and the Hoodoo Casters – a 5-piece band from Phoenix with musical roots from Chicago to Louisiana.
Hoodoo Casters
Early evening will have Tommy Dukes take the stage. Tommy is the real blues deal, originally from Mississippi and raised in Winslow, and is a member of the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame. He covers everything from traditional blues to R&B, and even some of his own original songs.
Blues master Fran Banish will cap off the day with his virtuoso blues guitar playing and singing. Fran was born and raised in Chicago and currently resides in Los Angeles. He does everything from frontman to sideman to session player. He has toured with Robben Ford, Keb Mo and many others, and has recorded with Buddy Guy’s band in Chicago.
And, as in previous years, at the end of the night, the festival musicians will all get back together on stage for a jam session, hosted by event producer and local bluesman, Joe Neri, and his band, Blues Dawg.
