Seaside Vacations Proudly Sponsors the Memorial Day Blues Fest on the Outer Banks

Posted on February 22, 2011

Outer Banks Memorial Day Blues Festival

Is the Outer Banks quietly becoming a blues mecca? We still need a dedicated blues bar, or at least some blues themed nights, but the OBX is starting to draw a serious blues crowd.

In August, we were the proud sponsors of the 3rd annual Bluez & Brewz festival, and a second blues fest was recently announced for Memorial Day weekend 2011. New acts and new location…same promoter, same great blues music and great beers.

It is called the Marsh Grass Music Festival, and it is being held on the lawn of the Whalehead Club in Corolla. This is a perfect spot for an outdoor music festival; huge lawn overlooking the sound with perfect sunsets. We are proud to be a sponsor of this event, and hope to see much more blues on the OBX.

It is a blues music festival that the entire family can enjoy. Dance the night away to the smooth tunes of Eddie Shaw& the Wolf Gang, Jackie Scott & the Housewreckers and Approved by Snakes with Jason Ricci. For ticket information visit Marsh Grass Music Festival on Facebook.

I’ve been trying to teach myself blues harmonica for a few years, relatively unsuccessfully I might add, and over that time, I’ve stumbled across Jason Ricci numerous times. He is an amazing blues harp player, and well worth the price of admission on his own. I can’t wait to see this amazing show.

Let’s keep bringing the blues to the OBX!

May 29, 2011 – Sunday from 6 pm to 10 pm

Established in 1977, Brew Thru is an Outer Banks icon that has stood the test of time. The Brew Thru offers a wide variety of adult beverages and their unique t-shirts are always a hit, but the true beauty of the Brew Thru is its simplicity. Need some beer but don’t feel like getting out of your car?…bingo! Brew Thru it is. Brew Thru, we salute you; keep up the good work.

PS – the Brew Thru also puts on a great Blues festival at the end of summer (8/21). Seaside Vacations is a proud sponsor of the Bluez & Brewz festival (http://www.bluezandbrewz.com/). We have some great vaction homes still available!
