During the hot Summer evenings in Ticino, in the grotti and squares of Vallemaggia Blues, melodies fill the skies, thanks to this open-air Blues event featuring both national and international bands. Thanks also to the original concept which married quality music and stunning locations, this 'itinerant' festival has found itself a secure place among the most important events in the region. Marva Wright, John Mooney, Eric Sardinas, Tabby Thomas, Walter Trout, Nine Below Zero, Louisiana Red, Popa Chubby, Carey & Lurrie Bell, Kenny Neal, Big Bill Morganfield, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Sydney Ellis, Toni Lynn Washington and Sax Gordon represent just a handful of the important names who have played the Vallemaggia stages.
