Quotable

"Once I was checking into a hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it. They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one sad song.'"
- Buddy Guy

Blues Brews & BBQ, Rock The Block and Blues Brews BBQ at the Ballpark are presented by BB LIVE!

What Blues Brews and BBQ is all about

Contrary to popular belief a blues song does not have to be sad (see the Buddy Guy quote on the sidebar). In fact it can be very loose, lighthearted, humorous and fun. That's the blues Blues Brews & BBQ epitomizes...


Don't Let The Economy Get You Down

Save Gas, Time and $$!

What can be better than enjoying great blues, brews (or soft drinks) and BBQ in a comfortable and safe environment - without having to pay for gas and traveling out of town? And what's better than a FREE event that features FUN for the whole family!?

The Best Things In Life Are Free

That's right, every Blues Brews & BBQ concert is FREE! Bring money only if you want to enjoy savory BBQ'd meals, thirst-quenching drinks (it does get HOT in the Central Valley, in case you didn't know!) and souvenirs from our lineup of outstanding blues performers.

BB Advertising - and our sponsors - are happy to bring Blues, Brews & BBQ to the blues lovin' citizens of Visalia on selected Friday nights. Check back often for new pics and updated schedules.

As always with outdoor events, Blues Brews & BBQ is produced weather permitting. If you have any questions about the event please do not hesitate to call 732-7737.
