Description

Barrow Brewing is hosting their first Blues Festival featuring Central Texas Blues musicians on July 13, 2024. Nate Biddy, Barrow Beertender and a musician himself, has spearheaded the event. He hopes guests will be inspired by the rich talent of Blues musicians. "Blues is something everyone can enjoy and fits with the family-friendly vibe of Barrow", Biddy said last week. 

The first Band will take the Don Ringler Stage at 11 a.m. during the Salado Farmers Market. Wild Wren is an Alternative Blues Rock Band hailing from Austin. They are a tour de force with their stage presence, bravado, sophisticated yet aggressive songwriting style, soaring vocal melodies, and searing fuzz guitar work. The music will shift into the taproom during the heat of the day with two performances. Will Travis will play at 1 p.m. Kate Wright, who has been captivating audiences with her deep & earthy voice, mezzo-soprano vocals & electric stage presence, will go on at 3 p.m.

Once the sun goes down, Jennifer Harrold and the Resophonics return to the stage at 7 p.m. This is a heavy hitter steeped in Texas Blues Standards with a powerful stage presence. Harrold is known for her heart gripping originals. The final band will take the stage at 8:30 p.m. Nonstop Admiral is an Alternative Blues/Indie Rock band that creatively navigates the two styles. Led by Craig Kierce and his passion filled lyrics, this is a show you do not want to miss. The Blues Festival at Barrow Brewing is free to attend. There will be food trucks on site. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to spread out on the beautiful brewery grounds.
