Schedule

Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 1:00 - 2:00 pm (Blues Stage)


This exciting band is the winner of the 2024 International Blues Challenge, held in Memphis, Tennessee and when they levitate you off your tarp, you’ll understand why the judges came to the conclusion they did. Showmanship, outstanding musicianship and a vibrant, rootsy sound fronted by vocalist Al “Piper” Green was all it took. Piper promises to deliver “100 percent energy” with every set. He derives that voltage from the powerhouse Hard Times, a band that’s big in every respect - numbers, sound and blues-based fervor. These cats just love to play and that enthusiasm pours off the stage. Come see why they’re winners of one of the most coveted awards in blues music.
