There is a stacked lineup coming to the park, including a very special homage to festival founder Robert Hokum on The Hokum stage, so we are spotlighting plenty of the stellar artists hitting the boards. On top of that, we have got fresh live dates and news straight out of our home base with the Crawdaddy Club Richmond at The Turks Head in Twickenham, plus all of our regular weekly spin features.\nThe music for this edition is packed with festival heavyweights and local legends. We are setting the pace with Robert Hokum and the Guv\u2019nors, the Geoff Garbo Band, the jump blues energy of Jump 66, and the wildly chaotic slide master Bob Log III. You will also hear contemporary gems from Leoni Jane Kennedy, the phenomenal Kyla Brox, and the incredible Louisiana soul of Robert Finley.\nWe keep the pressure on with a classic collaboration featuring Champion Jack Dupree and Eric Clapton, alongside powerhouses Albert Castiglia, Oli Mac and Hi Rhythm, Robbin Kapsalis, and harmonica virtuoso Giles Robson.\nThe second half carries the torch just as high, featuring Hubris Music, Ross Harding, the heavy rock-blues of Mississippi Shakedown, Monster Mike Welch, and the fiery piano work of Veronica Lewis. Wrapping up two solid hours of world-class blues, we bring you Murali Coryell, The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra featuring Willy Jordan, Emma Wilson, Brigitte Purdey, The Mustangs, Julian James, Curtis Salgado, and the King of the Electric Blues himself, Albert King.\nTwo hours, festival anticipation, and the absolute best music around.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/img.hearthis.at\/8\/6\/9\/_\/uploads\/9657207\/image_track\/14594882\/w1200_h628_q70_ptrue_v2_m1784998945----cropped_1784998899968.jpg?m=1784998945","thumbnail_width":1200,"thumbnail_height":628,"html":"<iframe scrolling=\"no\" id=\"hearthis_at_track_14594882_light\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" width=\"100%\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/hearthis.at\/embed\/14594882\/transparent\/?style=2&block_size=2&block_space=2&background=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency><\/iframe>","author_name":"Blues is the Truth","author_url":"https:\/\/hearthis.at\/ian-mchugh\/"}
