Baton Rouge Blues Week

If you just can’t wait for next week’s Baton Rouge Blues Festival, don’t get down—get funky! The folks behind the 2011 fest have arranged a great run-up to the event itself with Baton Rouge Blues Week, featuring great local talent at indoor and outdoor events all over town. Get pumped up listening to the likes of Lil’ Ray Neal, Dixie Rose & Friends, and Elvin Killerbee at venues from Chelsea’s Cafe to Teddy’s Juke Joint. You can also attend fascinating lectures and discussions centering around this very southern musical art form.
