Step Back in time as the Fort Bragg Blues Festival kicks off with a Roaring Twenties Theme Night. Embrace the exuberance of Classical Blues and the Jazz Age of the 1920’s, the very decade when the Blues exploded from regional roots into a national sensation.
Your ticket includes a magical ride on the World-Famous Skunk Train to their outdoor pavilion under the redwoods at Glen Blair Bar where you’ll be treated to the nostalgic sounds of Stella and the Starlights. Featuring members of The Billie Holiday Project, the band dives deep into the roots of jazz — from the smoky blues of the 1920s through the swinging sounds of the 1940s. Dust off your flapper dress, fedora, and finest fringe for an evening of timeless grooves and speakeasy-style swing.
