Roughly 7,000 blues aficionados flocked to the Pike on June 16 to enjoy live performances blending Mississippi Delta, Memphis, Texas rockabilly and Chicago-style riffs by artists such as Karl Stoll & the Danger Zone, Moondog Medicine Show, Danny Blew & The Blues Crew, and local favorite Chris Polk.

Headliner duo Sue Foley and Peter Karp presented “He Said-She Said,” a collaboration of original songs blending elements of folk, jazz, flamenco and blues.
