The Blind Boys of Alabama 3 at the Blast Furnace Blues Festival
Channel: rd350c
Date: 11/02/2014

The Blind Boys of Alabama  plays at the Blast Furnace Blues Festival in Bethlehem, PA  February 7-9, 2014.  This was our first time at this festival and we didn't know what to expect.  We went VIP and got a room at the Comfort Suites right down the road.  The hotel provided a van, so we got well lit both nights and had a GREAT time dancing and taking in the beautiful sights.  The Sunday Morning Brunch with the Wolfman was worth every penny.  I was especially impressed with the sound -- who would think that  such a cavernous metal and glass room would be devoid of echoes and filled with great sound in every corner, nook and cranny.   Kudos to the Arts Quest organization and to Michael Cloern and the other media types for putting together such a great line up and for executing a well organized show.
