The Blues Tour Groningen started cautiously in 2009, on the last Saturday in February, in five cafes. It was a success, the cafes were packed. Not only with regular guests, but especially with blues lovers who came from far and wide. Since then, the Blues Tour has grown, with 12-16 cafes participating.
This year is the 14th edition, this time with 12 locations where the blues is played in all its diversity. From the one-man performer with subdued blues, to the raw blues rock bands, classic blues and even boogie, there is something for everyone. All locations are in, or close to, the city center. The true blues lover can easily attend various performances on this evening.
