Four National acts have been booked for our Main Stage on Friday July 9th, 2010. View our Line Up page for more details.
Inetta Visor of Mississippi Heat - Friday July 9th, 9:45pm
Fronted by harmonica player Pierre Lacocque and blues singer Inetta Visor, Chicago blues band and Delmark Recording Artist Mississippi Heat takes the stage at 9:45pm. Inetta’s powerful, Etta James-like voice is just what Briggs Farm has been asking for in a Friday night headliner. Mississippi Heat will be following a tradition of powerful Friday night female vocalists who have played Briggs Farm in past years such as Teeny Tucker, Nora Jean Bruso, Alexis P. Suter, Sharrie Williams, and E.C. Scott.
Moreland and Arbuckle - Friday July 9th, 8:00pm
At 8:00pm, Kansas-natives Moreland and Arbuckle will be performing their relentless and haunting sound that merges Delta blues, folk, rock, traditional country, soul and numerous other echoes and murmurs from an infinitely layered musical narrative that spans more than a century. On February 23rd of this year, this three-piece indie blues band released a new CD on Telarc that features Aaron Moreland playing a homemade cigar box guitar and Dustin Arbuckle singing lead vocals and playing harp.
John Primer - Friday July 9th, 6:15pm
John Primer takes the Main Stage at 6:15pm. As the title of his critically acclaimed Atlantic Record CD suggests, Grammy Award and Handy Award Nominee, John Primer is truly “The Real Deal.” Born in Camden, Mississippi, his early inspiration came from his family steeped in spiritual, gospel, and church. He’s shared the stage with Sammy Lawhorn, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, and Lonnie Brooks, to name just a few. This year, John was nominated for two Grammy awards and has been nominated for two Blues Music Awards!
Harper - Friday July 9th, 4:30pm
At 4:30pm, Harper will kick off this year’s festival. Harper’s rich, soulful voice, virtuoso harmonica solos and didgeridoo rhythmic sounds create a sound canvas to his modern day storytelling. Blind Pig recording artist Harper is back at Briggs Farm by popular demand!
