A glorious weekend in Bradenton, Florida this December as the third annual Bradenton Blues Festival was held on the banks of the Manatee River in this gulf coast community. Perfect weather, record number of concert goers, and a whole slew of top-notch blues performers made this one of the best music events of the year anywhere in North America.

Saturday's full schedule included Dave Muskett, Doug Deming and the Jewel Tones, EG Kight, Billy Branch and Sons of the Blues, Lil' Ed &the Blues Imperials, Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers and headliner Marcia Ball.
