Pass the biscuits and a big ol’ helping of blues as the annual King Biscuit Blues Festival kicks off this week in downtown Helena-West Helena, Sean Clancy writes in Tuesday's Style section.
From the official kickoff on Thursday until the final notes ring out over Cherry Street late Saturday night, more than 70 acts will play on six stages during this year’s edition of the long-running celebration of the blues and Helena-West Helena’s unique association with the idiom.
“Oh, my word, it’s just over-the-top fabulous,” says Munnie Jordan, executive director of the festival, when asked about this year’s lineup.
