Blues Masters at the Crossroads has for 18 years been an internationally renowned two-night festival that features the most legendary blues artists in the most intimate of settings. The concert and its Blue Heaven Studios venue have been critically acclaimed by the likes of NPR, CNN, CBS Sunday Morning, the Associated Press, Living Blues and on and on. Each year, fans come from Europe, both coasts and all points in between to attend. This year, the concert expands with a partnership with the gorgeous Stiefel Theatre, where the weekend's Friday night show will be set. A larger seating capacity, but with the same intimate and ornate setting, allows the Blues Masters bill to include a true superstar in Gregg Allman.
