The 4th Annual T-Bone Walker Blues Fest is a two-day, two stage celebration of The Blues that will bring music lovers together in this birthplace of musical giants. Produced by a partnership of the T-Bone Walker Blues Fest, Inc. and Linden Economic Development Corporation, this year’s festival will include a FREE Friday outdoor concert for the family. 

There will also be a Guitar Hero Competition for the younger set on both Friday and Saturday. Sta-Dry Roofing is hosting celebrity guests, including several professional wrestlers, and free face painting for the younger set.

Proceeds generated by the festival will be shared this year with the Fairview Community Center and the Music City Texas Theater. These non-profit volunteer organizations are devoted to improving the quality of life of the Linden community, and enhancing the arts in Cass County and East Texas . 

The stellar lineup of eighteen bands includes Jimmie Vaughan, David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Bugs Henderson, Wes Jeans, and Guitar Shorty.

The festival is financed by sponsorship and staffed by volunteers. Tickets are available on the website.
