Sunflower River Blues & Gospel Festival

Join Cannonball Red for a powerful solo performance during the 37th annual Sunflower River Blues & Gospel Festival, taking place August 8–10 in downtown Clarksdale. This free, legendary event honors the Delta’s blues and gospel roots with multiple stages featuring veterans, rising talents, and the spiritual heartbeat of the community .

Red brings his raw, story-driven blues to the heart of the festival—no band necessary, just pure tone, soul, and storytelling in a crowd built for the music. It’s a moment of intimate connection amidst the festival’s celebration of heritage and hometown pride.
