Santa Blues Festival 2009 - Music on Tenerife

I know where I’m going to be camped out the weekend after next. I was starting to doubt that the Santa Blues Festival 09 was going to happen, despite knowing that The Deans were due to play, but now the full line up and dates have been announced.

Unlike last year when it took place over the space of three Friday nights, this year’s Santa Blues Festival runs from Thursday to Saturday night, with Ireland's greatest blues band, The Deans headlining Thursday and America’s Michele McCain topping Friday and The Campbell Brothers with their sacred steel guitars finishing the festival off on Saturday.

It should be a good mix of classic blues with some jazz funk and gospel thrown in, but it’s The Deans that I’m really looking forward to seeing.

There’s going to be some cool sounds in the hot city.

Time: 21.00
