Bring on the Blues! Tel Aviv’s blues festival is celebrating its 5th edition, expanding its name and venues to the Tel Aviv – Jaffa Blues Festival! Israel has a vibrant blues scene and the festival brings it all together with a 3-day urban festival that takes you through all the cool venues – all Israeli musicians with one great exception – EB Davis from Chicago!
Several Israeli cities will be hosting Blues Festivals shows this year: the Elma Complex in Zichron Ya’akov, Ashan Hazman in Beer Sheva, the Mitzpe Ramon Jazz Club, and additional venues in Herzliya and Kiryat Ono. The festival was initiated, and is produced and managed by Nobody’s Fault Productions.
