Even if we can’t have 17,000 people together in one park, music can still bring us together. We’ve been working hard to curate 12 hours of streaming, which will include tracks from artists you would have seen on stage this year, past festival headliners, blues-inspired music we think you’ll dig, as well as interviews with artists and Blues & BBQ committee members. The station will stream from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 11.
