Blue Wing Blues Festival - Labor Day

The highlight of the musical year at the Blue Wing Restaurant is our Labor Day weekend Blues Festival with patrons comfortably seated in the garden between the restaurant and hotel under the shade of the sycamores.  Two great bands play each evening on the hotel veranda.  During the first set, beginning around 6:15, ticket holders are served a delicious barbeque dinner, with the headline performance beginning around 7:30. Many local companies and individuals help to sponsor the event.

• Blues guitarist Angelo J. Rossi, aka “AJ Crawdaddy,” has been a fixture on the Bay Area music scene for many years.  He’s most well-known for his work with the popular Marin based pop group, Pablo Cruise, but he’s worked with numerous groups in the area and around the country.  His live performances are authentic, energetic – and lots of fun.
• Born in Ensenada and raised in the LA area, Daniel Castro had the blues in his blood from an early age, hanging around Huntington Beach clubs to hear the likes of Albert King, BB King and Albert Collins.  Moving to San Jose in 1995, the hard-driving bluesman has been a hit throughout the area, including previous appearances at the Blue Wing Blues Festival.
