ARCATA, Calif. - eTradeWire -- Buddy Reed & The Rip It Ups are bringing 60 years of raw, authentic blues to Blue Lake for a special day of music on August 15th, beginning with an afternoon appearance at the Buddy Brown Blues Festival.

The band takes the festival stage at 1:30 PM at Dell'Arte International, 131 H Street, Blue Lake, CA 95525, delivering the uncompromising blend of blues, roots, rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll that has defined Buddy Reed's remarkable six-decade career.

For Reed, the blues has never been about following trends. It has always been about honesty, feel and connection — the sound of a guitar speaking directly to an audience. Backed by The Rip It Ups, he continues to carry that tradition forward with the energy and authenticity of a musician who has spent a lifetime playing the music he loves.

This year carries particular significance as Buddy celebrates an extraordinary 60 years of performing the blues — a milestone that makes his appearance at the Buddy Brown Blues Festival much more than another show. It is another chapter in a musical journey that has connected generations of blues listeners and musicians.
