Deep Winter Blues

Upstate South Carolina is a historical Mecca for the Piedmont Blues. Throughout the 1920's and 30's the streets of Laurens County, Greenville, Spartanburg, & Anderson reverberated with the music of bluesmen/street- preachers as they were strolling with their tin cups extended. Many of these musicians became famous on the streets of New York City in the folk revival of the 50's and 60's. It is this tradition that we celebrate each February. The Hagood Mill will be operating, you can purchase a variety of products, and demonstrators will showcase Appalachian Arts & Crafts, The GateHouse will have a selection of food items for sale. It will be a day of fun for all!
