Mark your calendar for the Black Mountain Blues Experience—a powerful celebration of blues in all its styles, set in the charming mountain town of Black Mountain, North Carolina.
Surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this annual event brings together blues legends, Grammy-nominated artists, and International Blues Challenge (IBC) award winners, along with some of the most exciting regional talent on the scene today. Across an immersive weekend, audiences will experience unforgettable live performances—from electrifying evening sets to intimate acoustic moments that honor the deep roots and evolving spirit of the blues.
