6th Annual Living Blues Symposium

This year’s Living Blues Symposium in Oxford, MS will be February 26-27.  It was deliberately scheduled in tandem with gospel great Mavis Staples’ appearance at the Ford Center on Friday, February 27.  Thacker Mountain Radio will have a special blues theme on Thursday.  Following a screening of M for Mississippi, there will be a discussion about documenting the blues with Roger Stolle and others.  A “Highway 61 Blues Party” is scheduled at the Powerhouse.  A Mississippi Blues Trail Marker dedication will take place outside Barnard Observatory.  See more about the schedule and presenters at Scott Barretta’s site – www.highway61radio.com .  Updates will continue to be posted on this site as available.
