Piedmont Blues and Roots Festival

Join us in Historic Downtown Laurens, SC for the Piedmont Blues and Roots Festival on May 4! Laurens County was the birthplace and home of Rev. Gary Davis, Willie Walker, Lil McClintock, Arthur Guitar Boogie Smith, and other prominent Piedmont Blues artists. Our goal is to preserve and celebrate that heritage with the Piedmont Blues and Roots Festival. The festival will take place in downtown Laurens and feature performances by Jerron Blind Boy Paxton, Veronika Jackson, Sparky and Rhonda Rucker, the Holler Floppers ft. Ali Kafka and Hunter Holmes, all of whom preserve and perform traditional music.
