Experience Unforgettable Live Shows Just Across the Border!

Plattsburgh’s Blues & Jazz is renowned for its fantastic live performances, and this year was no exception. When I saw the ad for an upcoming show, I knew it was one I couldn't miss. The legendary Chicago bluesman **John Primer** was set to take the stage at the Retro Live, and I had to be there.

John Primer: A Blues Legend

John Primer is a powerhouse in the world of blues, and his talent is nothing short of extraordinary. The Retro Live venue is perfect for enjoying his music, allowing fans to dance and groove right up to the stage. With Primer leading the band, the atmosphere was electric.

His band was equally impressive, featuring:

- Steve Bell, son of the legendary harmonica player Carey Bell

- Melvin Smith, a Chicago Blues Hall of Fame artist on bass

- Lenny Media on drums

Primer's experience and charisma shone through every note, making it impossible to sit still. His distinct Chicago Blues sound captivated the audience, proving why he’s considered a living legend.

The Plattsburgh Blues & Jazz Experience

I've never been disappointed by a show at the Plattsburgh Blues & Jazz Festival. The performances are always worth the trip, and the tickets are very reasonably priced. Plus, you can buy tickets at the door with Canadian money at par value!

Celebrate Juneteenth with Soulful Music

Mark your calendar for June 19th to celebrate Juneteenth with a special concert by the Blackburn Brothers. This award-winning Canadian band brings a rich history as descendants of freedom seekers from the Underground Railroad. Their funky soul music is the perfect way to honor this significant day.

Don't miss out on these incredible performances. Come and feel the blues in a most positive way!
