St. Joseph Today has announced rhythm, blues, and rock singer JD McPherson will be the headliner for this year’s BBQ, Blues and Bluegrass Festival. To be held at Whirlpool Centennial Park in St. Joseph on May 18, the festival will be a chance for anyone to take in live music with Lake Michigan serving as the backdrop. St. Joe Today’s Amy Zapal tells WSJM News McPherson is a retro rocker.

“He kind of makes people think of early Elvis so it has that really great blues feel from the 1950s,” Zapal said. “We’re super excited that he is able to fit us on his schedule.”

Zapal says other performers will include Tameca Jones, the “Queen of Austin Soul,” and Buenos Aires-based Che Apalache with Latin bluegrass. The day also features plenty of barbecue and locally-made wine and beer. Tickets will be on sale starting March 4. You can find out more right here.
