The inaugural Nevada Blues Festival will run September 29 to October 1 at venues in Las Vegas and in Goodsprings, south of Las Vegas.

The Pioneer Saloon (Southern Nevada’s oldest saloon) in Goodsprings will host most of the performances. Wrapping things up there on Sunday are afternoon shows by Trevor and the Swinging Johnsons and the Vegas Strip Kings. Tommy Rocker's Mojave Beach Grill & Bar in Las Vegas closes out the weekend on Sunday night with a celebration of local musicians.

Admission is free, but special VIP passes will get you closer to the action and provide food and drink deals.
