Poster Signing for 14th Annual Highway 61 Blues Festival - Mighty Mississippi Music Festival

The Leland Blues Project and the Mighty Mississippi Music Festival is announcing the poster signing for the 14th Annual Highway 61 Blues Festival - Mighty Mississippi Music Festival at E. E. Bass on Friday, August 23 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM.  This event is held in conjunction with the opening of Billy Johnson's blues photography exhibit, Gone But Not Forgotten.  Cristen Craven Barnard, the artist for this year's poster, will be on hand signing a limited number of posters from her artwork titled, Mississippi Delta Riverside Blues. Posters will be on sale with a numbered, signed poster costing $25 and and unsigned poster costing $15.  As this is the first year for the combined Highway 61 Blues Festival - Mighty Mississippi Music Festival, they will certainly become collector items and sales of the poster directly benefit The Highway 61 Blues Museum.  A reception for the public including wine and hors d'oeuvres will accompany the events of the evening.
