Another Blast! Thanks, all Musicians and fans and friends for coming out to the “Other Memphis” Jam at the Lions Den Saturday.  I always enjoy the sets, and my favorite; the spontaneous jams that mark up the night.  That is the real Deal.  So much fun.

The MBF has had over 50 Bands Play at our outside Summer Blues Festival the Past 5 years. Dozens more played solo sets on our second stage between sets.

Bands: Set times are generally one hour.  Our sound man will have you dialed in and ready to play within 15 minutes.  So 45 minutes to lay out your favorite set!  Solo and Duet Teams entertain Between Setups.

If  the MBF evolves into an event with corporate sponsorship we will be in a position to offer some paid set times.  Until then the policy for playing remains unchanged;  Bands play for the Love it,  To entertain ourselves and our local fan bases.  Preference is extended to past participants.  Final selection is determined after communication from all interested parties.  Local,  Regional, and special guests  are considered for appearances.  Social Media, Local Press, and Craig’s List notifications go out in early summer.  Final roster is set by early July.
