Coming TOgether
With deep connections to the community and a mission to honor global and Americana arts, LEAF Global and White Horse Black Mountain are coming together to present an annual Blues Experience that promises to celebrate the amazing music of regional and national talent through a festival vibe.
Why The BluEs
The blues has been the cornerstone of nearly every American music genre over the past century, including jazz, R&B, rock, and hip-hop.
In addition to its influence, the blues tradition stands out for its profound and diverse nature, providing a broader and more innovative perspective. This tradition symbolizes a history of artistic rebellion that runs deep in American culture.
As the challenges of resilience have changed over time, the blues tradition has consistently reinvented itself, leaving its mark on contemporary electronic music, certain jazz genres, and the bold expressions of many hip-hop artists.
