Bottom of the Hill Blues Festival

The annual Bottom of the Hill Blues Festival returns 4 to 11 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 9) at Twilliger’s Tavern in downtown Laingsburg, featuring performances by Muskegon-based guitar and harmonica duo Blue Tone Two, mid-Michigan-based blues cover band Tad and the Fat Katz and Lansing-based blues group Gina Garner & the All Night Long Band, which features notable Lansing musicians Steve Pinckney on guitar, Mike Lynch on keys, Mike Smalley on bass and Mike Daniels on drums.

The performances are scheduled to take place in front of the tavern, but if the weather is unsuitable, the festival will move indoors. The tavern will sell food and drinks throughout the day. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door. For more information, call 517-420-3181.
