It’s almost that time of year again when Weld County gets a wonderful case of the blues! Symptoms include excitement, the need to dance and the overwhelming desire to enjoy world-class blues music right here in northern Colorado.

The Greeley Blues Jam will kick off Friday June 4, 2022, with free family-friendly performances on the 9th St. Plaza in downtown Greeley featuring Josh Hoyer and over 15 venues offering even more live music. But that is just to whet your appetite. The fun officially gets started on Saturday, June 4, with a full day of back-to-back-to-back performances on the two Blues Jam stages in the Island Grove Arena.

This year’s exciting line-up includes: Emma Marie, Josh Hoyer and the Soul Colassal, Mac Arnold & Plate Full O'Blues, Vanessa Collier, Ruthie Foster, Kim Wilson & the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Deborah Stafford & the State of Affairs and Al Chesis & the Delta Sonics.

“It ain’t nothing but a party” is the motto of the event, and we’re sure you will have the time of your life here, whether you are new to the genre or if the blues runs through your veins!
