Welcome to:

ALPENA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2009

This years festival will be a two day event. Friday June 26th & Saturday June 27th. This decision was made as a result of the poor economy and last year's bad weather. We're still going to have a great festival this year, just a little smaller. We will keep you up to date as far as band selection. So far we have "Stand Back" an Allman Brothers Tribute Band featuring the famed Matt Besey."Check it out"

Also, one of this years headliners will be, Studebaker John & the Hawks with Lazy Lester.  Don't miss this rare opportunity to see this fantastic group. This group was brought together exclusively for the Alpena Blues Festival, thanks to Jay Reil & Associates. Jay Reil & Associates

See the Program page for the complete 2009 schedule.
