BACK TO PICTURES

  
On Friday, July 21 and Saturday July 22, the 5th annual Nothin' But the Blues Festival was held at the Sale Barn in Bloomington, Illinois and organized by Chances Entertanment. Rain came down early Friday evening, washing out the performance of local favorites 6V6. However the rain stopped and the show went on, with a good crowd Friday night and the largest crowd ever at Saturday's performances.
