The 37th Waterfront Blues Festival is right around the corner, ready to fill Portland’s Waterfront Park with four days of great live music, from July 1st through the 4th. The schedule includes headliners St.Paul & The Broken Bones, Diggin' Dirt, Jackie Venson, Marchfourth, Lucinda Williams, as well as an all-star lineup of established and up-and-coming acts, representing a variety of musical styles. There’s truly something for everyone.

If you can’t be there in person, no worries. In another long-standing tradition, KBOO has you covered. We’ll be livestreaming the entire run, as we do every Blues Fest, from noon to 10 PM each day.
