The Silver City NM Blues Festival Is Back!

The 28th Annual Silver City Blues Festival will take place May 27, 2023, Memorial Day weekend, at Gough Park in Silver City, NM. This year’s festival continues to be free for all to enjoy. It is supported by local businesses and individual blues lovers, and especially by donations from attendees.

The festival is pleased to present five great performers including:
•Dirty Red & the Soul Shakers, from OK, a lone weeping guitar, blues harmonica and soul filled vocals.
•Tyron Benoit Band, from New Orleans LA, a band as diverse as Cajun culture with a dash of Zydeco, a pinch of rock, and a sprinkle of Americano.
•Ghost Town Blues Band, from TN, a band that captivates their audience with cigar box guitars, electric push brooms, and a hip-hop trombone player.

The Mimbres Region Arts Council has been working hard to get everything ready for this event, all we need now is for you to come out and enjoy the festival and donate! The 2023 Blues Festival will have something for everyone – out of state and local performers, unique vendors from Silver City’s very own Makers Market, beer gardens provided by Little Toad Creek Brewery & Distillery and Q’s Bistro, and food/beverage vendors. Food/Beverage vendors can apply online at https://www.silvercitybluesfestival.org/

The whole goal of the festival is to bring amazing entertainment to Silver City while supporting the local economy. While the Blues Festival is fun and exciting, there are many businesses that neighbor Gough Park that will still be open for business. Please stop in and say “Hi” and “Thank you” to them for cooperating with us to put this event together. Please respect their property and all signage posted.

Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy this free music festival. Your donations are greatly appreciated. Please come out and support the Mimbres Region Arts Council in its mission of nurturing a creative community and benefitting music programs in Grant County.

Don’t forget that once the Blues Festival closes for the evening, you can find more wonderful entertainment in downtown Silver City.
