552.0. "Winter Is. Fest May 24-25" by DEMON::CRAMER () Tue May 13 1997 22:02

	New England folks,

	Thought you might be interested in the line-up for the Winter 
	Island (Salem, Mass) blues fest.  There is at least one local 
	teenage band scheduled to open, but I don't have the names in 
	front of me.  I'm scheduled to emcee on Sunday. Holly Harris
	is scheduled to emcee on Saturday.  They have shuttles running 
	from the train station in Salem if you don't want to drive. 
	Tickets are available at Strawberries or call the festival 
	hotline (the promoter's own phone -- can you believe it?  The
	festival must be a labor of love for him.) 617 639-4040
	Tickets are $12 each day in advance and $15 at the gate. A 
	two-day pass is $22.  The site is very nice, on the water. 

	Saturday, May 24, starting at 11:00 a.m. 
	----------------------------------------
	Mickey Bones & Krewe de Roux
	Radio Kings
	"Monster" Mike Welch
	Bellevue Cadillac
	Roomful of Blues
	The Movers 
	Bob Margloin Band with special guest Pinetop Perkins

	Sunday, May 25, starting at noon
	--------------------------------
	Barrence Whitfield & Mogambo Twist
	Susan Tedeschi Band
	Entrain	
	Debbie Davies 
	Eddie Kirkland & the Energy Band
	Big Daddy Kinsey & the Kinsey Report

Sounds like a good show on Saturday.

> "Monster" Mike Welch

The kid's got the sound of a young Stevie Ray Vaughan.

> The Movers

This band's "got the boogie-woogie, the rock 'n' roll, but mostly the blues"

I've heard that the outdoor park is very nice. Is this the place with the
"Witches of Eastwick" mansion?
