The hills of Eureka Springs are about to echo with electric riffs, soul-stirring vocals, and the unmistakable sound of the blues as the Eureka Springs Blues Party kicks off tomorrow—and trust us, you’ll want a front-row seat for this one.
Indigenous, fronted by the incomparable Mato Nanji, headlines this year’s festival with their blazing blues-rock style and emotionally charged storytelling. Nanji’s guitar chops have earned nods from greats like B.B. King, and fans of the Experience Hendrix Tour already know: this is no ordinary show. Making it even more unforgettable, guitar virtuoso Monte Montgomery joins as a special guest, turning Saturday night into a six-string showdown you won’t want to miss.
But that’s just the beginning.
Ruthie Foster and Anders Osborne are teaming up for a powerhouse double bill—two deeply soulful artists known for setting stages ablaze with every note. Foster’s gospel-soaked voice meets Osborne’s roots-rock intensity in a rare pairing that promises one of the weekend’s most memorable moments.
Across multiple stages and blues clubs, the lineup keeps rolling: D.K. Harrell, Patrick Sweany, Chambers DesLauriers, Seth Lee Jones, Earl & Them, Brad Absher Band, and many more. Local favorites like Brick Fields, Buddy Shute & Friends, and The NightTimers will keep the grooves going well into the night.
Eureka Springs has long been a crossroads for extraordinary blues talent—hosting legends like Bo Diddley, Mavis Staples, Koko Taylor, and Keb’ Mo’, each leaving their imprint on the town’s rich musical tapestry.
Tickets and all-access passes are still available—but not for long. Grab yours here before the downbeat starts and be part of a weekend where the blues take center stage in the most joyful way possible.
Let the party begin.
