It was announced earlier this year that Bradenton Blues Festival would not return for 2024, but luckily it didn’t take long for the festival’s artistic director (among others) to create Lakewood Ranch Blues Festival. The lineup, featuring Grammy-nominated and Blues Music Award-winning artists, includes Danielle Nicole, Vanessa Collier, Kat Riggins, Monster Mike Welch, Mitch Woods & His Rocket 88’s, Dylan Triplett and Melody Angel.
