Notes: Lionel is the International Blues Challenge winner for 2011 and I was pesent for the competition. His band won against some of the best competitors I have seen in the four years I have attended the IBC. Unfortunately, I was a little late arriving on this first day of the 2011 KBBF and missed the first 20 minutes (they only give the OBC winner about 35-45 for the set). I hope this shortened set gives you enough idea about the quality of this band. The addition of Lionel's fiddle really adds a dimension to the music which is enjoyable. I hope you agree.

It was early in the day so some of the crowd was a little noisy but it is not too bad, the sound is actually very good.

Enjoy!

01-Got My Mojo Workin'(joined in progress)
02-Boogie 'til The Break of Day

King Biscuit Blues Festival
October 6-8, 2011
Helena, AR

This year I caught most of the mainstage acts, as listed, with one of two set ups. Both yielded very good results but I defer to you to let me know how well this came out. Your comments are appreciated.

What I would like is for you to help me prioritize how I release these shows to the DIME. What is your interest? I have limited time so if there is soemthing you want let me know. I can do these in any order. I did get Paul Thorn out first as this show was one of many highlights of the festival. I highly encourage anyone who love music, especially blues, to plan to be in Helena next year October 4, 5,& 6, 2012. It is a great three days!
