Blues Festival Executive Director Malinda White said the musical lineup is second to none.

“We’re excited about the lineup. We’ve reached out and put together another lineup that displays the different sounds of blues, from the Mississippi Hill Country Blues to Louisiana Swamp Blues to piano blues, and New Orleans Funk and Texas Blues,” White said. “It’s going to be the best one yet. There is going to be plenty of music to please everyone’s appetite.”

Promotions Chair Marcelle Hanemann agreed.

“Once again, we’re stepping up,” Hanemann said. “We’re including all different kinds of blues music this year. We want to give people who come to the festival a good sampling of all different kinds of blues music. We feel like we have it again this year.”

Hanemann said the Thunderbirds are sure to bring people out to the park.

“People are familiar with the music of The Fabulous Thunderbirds. They are just solid blues and are very exciting,” she said.

White said harmonica lessons will again be offered during the festival and more camping facilities will also be available.

“We’ve got the names to draw visitors from far and wide to Bogalusa,” White said. The 2014 Festival drew more than 7,000 people.
