Saturday officially kicked off the annual Franklin Blues and Barbeque two-day music festival in Fountain Park, however, the organizers and many musicians got a head start on the weekend Friday night with a special Flag Day all-star jam at Trails to Ales. A lot of talent drew a large crowd with more expected on Sunday.
Saturday saw performances from the Franklin High School jazz band, which has been a recipient of some of the funding given away by the Blues and Barbeque committee, The Memphis Honey Blues Band, The Bell Jumpers, Max Schang and his friends, the Wallace Coleman Band, Greg Piccolo and Heavy Juice and Eliza Neals and her Detroit band.
Sunday the event continues with another recipient of the committee's funds, HOLeY Jeans at noon followed by Dan Bubien and the Delta Struts, Billy the Kid and the Regulators. The day is capped -off with Bywater Call before the sun sets on another year.
Blues and Barbeque raises money for music education throughout Venango County. Since they began in 2015 they have given out over $50,000. Last year they were able to help Rocky Grove's music department get a French horn and they have establish a strong artist-in-residence program that helps the Franklin Jazz Band program immensely.
Below are a few photos from Saturday's performances.
