The Big Muddy Blues Festival
By Big Dave
9-6-09


'The Muddy'

So many festivals, so little time. Festival season is in full swing, and to STLBlues that means musical adventure on the road. Labor Day weekend started at the 21st anniversary of the Budweiser Illinois Blues Festival, and ended at the Big Muddy Blues Festival. Known as 'The Muddy', this event just happens to be held in one of the top 5 indigenous Blues towns to be found anywhere.

The blues weather window opened up just long enough on Saturday to pull the show off, and Sunday brought in good weather for the final day. The crowds filled the Landing to capacity, and once again the Big Muddy Blues Festival delivered what they came for.....the Blues, St. Louis style! It's easy to fill 3 stages with great St. Louis talent, names like Kim Massie, Alvin Jett, Leroy Pierson, Billy Peek, Big George Brock, Marquise Knox, and so many others.

Some big crowd pleasers from out of town included E.C. Scott & Smoke, Joe Louis Walker, Guy Forsyth, Walter 'Wolfman' Washington, and more. Artist/writer Kevin Belford was on hand at the Blues Society booth, signing copies of his new release 'Devil At The Confluence', the first comprehensive book ever published on the history of the blues music of St. Louis. The Big Muddy is a world class blues event, and this year demonstrated once again that St. Louis is truly a home of the Blues!
