The River City Blues Festival, funded through a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the Arts and Humanities Council of Greater Baton Rouge, was founded in 1980. The festival was originally created to highlight the jazz and blues performers of Baton Rouge and went on to showcase the Baton Rouge blues tradition.
Held on the grounds of the Old State Capitol building, the two-day festival comprised performances, a colloquium, and workshops for young musicians.
The collection is made up of several folders of administrative correspondence and planning documents, such as volunteer forms, proposals, and grant applications, in addition to seven recordings on cassette tapes and two posters.
Materials may be found in the following series within the Louisana Folklife Program Project Files:
Collection is available for review at LSU Libraries Special Collections, Hill Memorial Library, Baton Rouge, La.
