The II International Blues Festival in Tomares will take place on September 19 at the Jardines del Conde. Californian Tia Carroll heads a lineup featuring eight performances.
On September 19, the Jardines del Conde in Tomares will be filled with blues for the second edition of a festival that has already carved out a place in the province's musical calendar. The big star will be Tia Carroll, one of the most powerful female voices in contemporary blues, who is coming from California to deliver a concert that promises to move even the most sceptical.
The festival will kick off at 12:30 PM with the opening of the doors, and from then on, the music will not stop until well into the afternoon. Eight groups and soloists will take turns on stage, offering a wide variety of styles within the blues: from the most classic and electric to proposals that flirt with soul and rock.
Tia Carroll, the Voice from California
Tia Carroll is not just any singer. Born in California, she has shared the stage with legends of the genre and has forged a career based on intensity and feeling. Her voice, capable of shifting from a whisper to a scream in a heartbeat, is the main attraction of this edition. Blues fans have an unmissable appointment with an artist who has been described as "the new queen of West Coast blues."
But it's not all about Tia Carroll. The lineup includes top names from the national scene, such as Quique Gómez & His Vipers, who will bring their electric blues and masterful harmonica; the Lluís Coloma Trío & Kid Carlos, a piano and guitar duel that promises to be one of the most vibrant of the day; and Quique Bonal & Kid Carlos, who will show why they are two of the most respected musicians in blues in Spain. They are joined by Q & The Moonstones, with their fusion of blues, rock, and soul; Lightning Band, La Manso & Blues Sapiens, and Slowhand, completing a lineup that will delight genre lovers.
A Full Day Plan at the Jardines del Conde
The festival is designed for the audience to enjoy a full day of outdoor music. The Jardines del Conde, a green and welcoming space in the heart of Tomares, will become the epicentre of Sevillian blues for one day. The organisation, led by the Tomares City Council in collaboration with the Casa del Blues de Sevilla, has set up a main stage and rest areas so that attendees can stroll, eat, and, above all, let themselves be carried away by the music.
For the residents of Tomares, the festival is a golden opportunity to enjoy quality music without leaving their municipality. Moreover, residents of Tomares have a special discount: the general admission ticket costs 20 euros, but for them and for members of the Casa del Blues, the price is reduced to 15 euros. A detail that the City Council wanted to maintain to encourage local participation.
The event is not only an attraction for blues lovers but also for those who want to discover a genre that is more alive than ever. As the organisers say, "blues is not sadness, it is catharsis." So mark your calendars: on September 19, Tomares awaits with open arms all those who want to be swept away by the rhythm and emotion of music that never goes out of style.
