Blues Festival 2018 Wows ‘Em

Pat Benatar closed out what everyone is calling the most successful Thunder Bay Blues Festival ever.

Name acts like Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlin, Melissa Etheridge and Pat Benatar attracted the record crowds,

Organizer Trevor Hurtig believes it was the quality of this year’s artists that made it the success it was.

He tells us it’s the result of a combination of some major agents getting involved, along with talent and ability of the musicians.

The Blues Festival official hopes the success attracts more major acts in the future. (Staff photo)
