More Pictures of the 2010 Highway 61 Blues Festival

Saturday and Sunday were extremely memorable days for the Leland Blues Project, The Highway 61 Blues Festival and the City of Leland, MS as we welcomed home legendary bluesman Johnny Winter. Saturday Johnny toured the Highway 61 Blues Museum and later that evening played the Highway 61 Blues Festival. On Sunday afternoon the Johnny Winter Blues Trail Marker we unveiled with Johnny in attendance. The unveiling enjoyed the largest crowd to date of any Blues Trail marker!
