Welcome to the first annual Klamath Blues Festival. Klamath Falls is a growing community, and with that growth has come a development of the arts. We feel the area is ripe for a festival of this caliber, bringing national acts, tourists, and music lovers of all ages to picturesque Lake Ewauna for one full day of entertainment. Veterans Park is conveniently located in downtown Klamath Falls just blocks from hotels, restaurants, shops, and boutiques. What better time than early September for an outdoor concert event?. The fall weather is traditionally beautiful in Klamath with average temperatures in the high seventies and low eighties.

Featuring the amazing Tommy Castro Band, this year’s Blues Music Awards recipient of the BB King Blues Entertainer of the Year, while their album 'Painkiller' was awarded Contemporary Blues Album of the Year!

We will also be presenting the spectacular Insomniacs, one of the hottest acts on the West Coast today. Winner of the prestigious MUDDY award and many other blues awards. They are not to be missed.

We will also be spotlighting the one and only Craig Allen Blues Band who will make you 'Grab the Rafters' and scream for more.

Playing serious traditional style blues, one of the biggest acts from the East Coast circuit; Baltimore Red Jones, Harry Harpoon and Dean Oliver.


Opening our full day of Blues by the Lake will be the powerhouse blues trio, The Dave Amour Band, producing a huge sound from three veteran musicians/entertainers who play blues as it should be played!

Micro brews, food, and various vendors will be on hand! General admission is$15, while ANY Blues Society Member will be$10. Kids under 12 are free. Festival proceeds benefit the Veterans Memorial Project and the Klamath Blues Society's Scholarship Fund.
