13th annual Decatur BBQ Blues & Bluegrass Festival Set for August 17th
Once again the sights, sounds, and smells of the Decatur BBQ Blues & Bluegrass Festival will invade Harmony Park in Oakhurst Saturday, August 17th from 4pm – 10pm. This year’s event promises to be one of the best with a terrific line up of live musical acts, first class BBQ from Fox Bros, Black Tie, Willamson Bros. and Miss P's BBQ.
To kick off the 13th annual event local Georgia Music Award Legend winner Beverly “Guitar” Watkins will open
up the festival lineup. She will be followed by the soul-singing songwriting sisters of Larkin Poe, hot off the heels of a
month-long European tour. Also making his debut at the Decatur BBQ Blues & Bluegrass Festival is Randall Bramblett, fresh
off the inclusion of one of his songs on Bonnie Raitt’s Grammy-winning album Slipstream.
Returning to our stage
is 2012’s extremely well-received headliner The Electromatics. Finally, we are
extremely proud to announce our 2013 headliner 7 Handle Circus who will
be playing the festival for the first time.
