NORWICH – The final arrangements are being made for the Friday start to the 17th Chenango Blues Festival at the fairgrounds in Norwich, and it promises to be a great weekend of music, food and fun. 

Organizers of the event are excited about this year’s stellar lineup. “Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings have spent this year on the main stages of some of the nation’s biggest music festivals, and everyone raves about their high energy show,” said Blues Association volunteer, Carrie Larsen. Combine that with blues legend, Charlie Musselwhite and you have a potent one- two punch on the Sheffield Pharma Main Stage. 

“The two of them are reason enough to come,” added Steve Palmatier, “but you have Chris Cain, Harper, and the Honey Island Swamp Band playing up there, too.  Those guys are coming from San Francisco, Australia, and New Orleans, so you know they want to put on a show.”
