Keeping the focus on rising stars of the Blues, Trampled Under Foot takes the stage direct from the great blues scene of Kansas City.

Headlining the Saturday night lineup will be Mighty Lester, an eight piece blues band that promises to bring down the house.

On Sunday, the festival will shift gears when Irving Street Blues opens for The Doc Marshalls, featuring Acadian Nick Beaudoing. The Doc Marshalls will bring their authentic mix of Zydeco and Cajun sounds to Anglesea. The Doc Marshalls have quickly forged a reputation for their wildly energetic live shows. Anchored by the fiddling wizardry of Mat Kane and the breakneck accompaniment of Beaudoing's Cajun accordion, their unique Louisiana grooves have infiltrated the halls of countless alternative rock venues where roots music is seldom heard. Whether performing Bakersfield-style shuffles or traditional Cajun French two-steps, they are determined to make converts of even the most shy souls.
