Thank You !!!
The 2008 UnTapped Blues Festival
We extend to each performer, volunteer, sponsor, vendor, and fan, a heart felt thank you for making the 2008 UnTapped Blues Festival a smashing success. We had a wonderful line-up of talented local, regional, and national bands, as well as a stellar cast of generous sponsors, quality vendors (including breweries and wineries), energetic volunteers, and awesome fans. You’ll find pictures from last year on the photo page along with others from past years.
We have enjoyed bringing the blues to the Tri-Cities over the past twelve years. However, after twelve years the time has come to move on to other pursuits. We looked long and hard to find an organization committed to the Tri-Cities, live blues music, and providing our fans with quality entertainment. We are pleased to announce that The Untapped Blues Festival will be managed by Dave Nichols and 12-Bar Promotions. We will continue to be associated with the festival for the next couple of years to help Dave with the continued success of the event.
The 2009 UnTapped Festival promises to be an exciting event. We will continue to hold the event on the second Saturday in May at the Benton County Fair Grounds, and will sustain the close relationships with sponsors, vendors, and the blues community.In 2009 we will be featuring long-time UnTapped favorites Junk Yard Jane and legendary blues act, Magic Slim and the Teardrops. Other bands scheduled to make our 13th year a memorable one include the Miriam's Well Band, The Fat Tones, and Wired! Visit the "Band Info" page in the weeks ahead for more details on these and other bands.
A special thanks to our 2008 partner the Tri-Cities Cancer Center, as well as Visual Antics (graphic design) and Mariah Digital Design (web site). Of course the festival would not have been possible without the generosity of our presenting sponsors Jackson’s Bar and Grill (Richland), the Eagle 106.5 FM, and the Wildhorse Resort and Casino, and other key sponsors including Bank of the West, and Ice Harbor Brewery.
THANK YOU for supporting live music and keeping the blues alive! We'll see you soon!
Cheers,
Eric Nyberg, John Darab, and Babe Nyberg - Untapped Promotions
