The Grammy Award-winning Blues Traveler has been playing venues all over the world since becoming mega-stars in the 1990s, and one of the stops on the current tour will be right here in a place you might not expect -- the Milford Oyster Festival.
Blues Traveler will headline the festival, which will be held on Saturday, August 17.
“Blues Traveler has been on our band wish list for several years and we are thrilled to be able to finally bring them to our Main Stage” Jay Pinto, vice-president of the festival committee, said in a written statement. “We have a great stage and backdrop for Blues Traveler” said Paula Smith, Festival president, “This is a wonderful opportunity for fans to enjoy a free outdoor concert in our beautiful downtown harbor area.”
The 39th annual Milford Oyster Festival is August 17 rain or shine in downtown Milford along the harbor. Not only are oysters celebrated and shucked, but you’ll find arts and crafts as well as demonstrations.
If you cannot make the festival, you’ll be able to catch Blues Traveler in August when they play the Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport, which runs from July 25 through July 28, in Oceanside Park.
Ticket packages are already available for the festival.
Also expected at this year’s Gathering of the Vibes are The Black Crowes, Tedeschi and Fishbone. Look for a major artist announcement to come on June 10.
