The Friends of Czech Village and the Linn County Blues Society present The Czech Village Blues Fest, Aug. 10. One of Chicago’s top bluesmen, Torenzo Cannon, headlines the concert, which will also feature Anthony Gomes, and Charlie Morgan and the Bone Crushers with Tommy “T-Bone” Giblin. There will also be a youth stage, featuring young musicians who’ve been honing their skills all summer at Parlor City jam sessions.
Funds raised at the concert go to restore the Riverside Roundhouse, long a Czech Village landmark.
Doors open at 4pm, with a variety of refreshments, including beer and spirits served by Rotary West, Dennis’s Rotary Club.
Tickets can be purchased at www.czechvillagefriends.org or White Lion Treasures, Checkers Tavern, O’Malleys Irish Bar, Parlor City Pub & Eatery, Q-Dogs BBQ and The Village Meat Market.
