The San Francisco Blues Festival, the world’s longest-running blues showcase, celebrates its 30th anniversary Sept. 28-29 on the Great Meadow at Fort Mason with an exceptional lineup topped by rocker Steve Miller in a return to his Chicago blues roots.
Miller will close the festival Sunday with special guests Charlie Musselwhite, Elvin Bishop, Barry Goldberg (Electric Flag), Harvey Mandel, Nick Gravenites and Marcy Levy (former Eric Clapton vocalist).
The Bay Area’s Robert Cray, long considered a prime modernizer of the blues,headlines Saturday. Other scheduled acts include octogenarian Robert Jr. Lockwood, who learned to play Delta-style blues guitar at the feet of Robert Johnson; harmonica master and Muddy Waters Band veteran James Cotton; the volcanic Chicago guitarist Otis Rush; and cult soul legend Howard Tate, who is making a welcome comeback.
Tickets for the festival, now on sale, are $25 per day ($30 on day of show).
A two-day pass purchased in advance is $40. There will also be a reserved seating area in front of the stage for premium two-day pass holders ($65).
