About Atlanta Blues Festival
Atlanta is dubbed as being the greatest Pre-war Blues city in America. Blues exponents from all along the eastern seaboard congregated in this city and soon developed a completely unique blues sound known as Piedmont Blues or Blues from the Eastern Seaboard. This particular style of blues has a number of distinguishing characteristics- guitar is played in a finger-picking style that has a melodic, ragtime feel to it. Many of the instruments used are 12-string guitars or guitars with resonator plates which give a unique sound to this blues style.
Since then Atlanta has emerged as one of the foremost places to experience blues first hand in terms of live performances. There are roughly 4000 thousand blues musicians in the city and 500 bands that play pure blues- there are a variety of blues styles within Atlanta as well; Marietta Blues, Acoustic Blues, In town Blues and Black Blues to name a few. The local talent boasts of names like Heaven Davis, Barry Richman and Bluephonic. The Atlanta Blues Festival brings these local talents to the fore apart from bringing professional blues artists to the stage as well. The festival has also drawn blues artists from across the country.
