Women in Blues - downtown Clarksdale, Mississippi.

​When:  May 18 2024​

​Where : 263 Delta Ave - Greenspace across from Stone Pony

LEVONS - SATURDAY special menu served all day from Levon's back window, and supports the festival.

Lineup highlights:

• "Gracey Williams turns 13 on Friday -- so her first day as a teenager will be onstage Saturday. We're highlighting all ages: Honeybee Jones Neal is in her 80's and Miss Gladys has decades of stories to share...

• Soulful Femme is from Pennsylvania, and CRUZ The Dame is from Atlanta... Like Alice Hasen (Memphis) and Charlotte Taylor (Arkansas), Cruz calls Clarksdale a home-away-from-home.

• Mississippi powerhouses include Eden Brent from Greenville and Aa'Keela L.S. Hudnall, born in Meridian and now living in Jackson.

• Hometown Women in Blues heroes Heather Crosse, Edna Nicole, and LaLa Craig open and close the festival... and will invite some very special guests to join them."

• Those "special guests" include LaLa's piano students, who are as young as 8yrs old and have been practicing for months.
