Tickets on Sale for Bobby “Blue” Bland Concert in Downtown Lakeland

If you like the blues, or heck, even if you just like a great party, then you need to go to Polk Museum of Art’s Red, White & The Blues on Friday, October 3 at the Lake Mirror Amphitheater.

I’ve been to Red, White & The Blues for the past 6 or 7 years, and I will tell you that it’s a fantastic party. I’m not even really a blues fan! Traditionally it’s been held at the Museum, but this year the Museum decided to move it out of the building and make it bigger and better. I can’t wait to see how great it is!

Blues legend Bobby “Blue” Bland is the headline act, and local favorite Sarasota Slim is opening. But besides the great music, General Admission ticket holders get treated to free beer and barbecue by Good Buddies BBQ all evening! A cash bar will be available with premium beer, wine, and mixed drinks. But, the perks get even better if you purchase V.I.P. tickets: open bar, food by Texas Cattle Company, a wine tasting, private parking, and a balcony overlooking the concert!

Tickets are $50 for General Admission, and $100 for Blues Club V.I.P. tickets. Plus, be sure to bring art supplies (min. value $10) to be distributed to area schools. You can purchase tickets by calling 863-688-7743 x238 or visiting www.PolkMuseumofArt.org.

Oh, and one last thing: you have to be at least 21 years old to attend! It’s a bummer, I know, but them’s the rules. I hope to see you there!
