ANNOUNCING:

Magic City Blues is on hiatus.

Thank you for supporting the festival for 22 years. How time has flown by! We especially appreciate the fans, friends and family who came out our last year in 2023.

Every fall we think hard if we want to do it all over again. (It's been especially tough the last three years.) There are many reasons we have decided not to produce a festival in 2024. The top one is:

We have no venue.

The Yellowstone County Commissioners (Don Jones, John Ostlund, Mark Morse) wrote a letter to me and said that they didn't want Magic City Blues to be at MetraPark anymore. They said it was a conflict of interest since my husband, Tim, works there… despite approving the event in 2022 and 2023.

Thank you,

Pam Goodridge
