35 Bands + 10 Venues = Omaha’s Blues Fest!


Headlining 2023 In The Market For Blues is Toronzo Cannon

Toronzo Cannon and The Chicago Way LLC headlines Omaha’s Blue Fest, In The Market For Blues , on Saturday, Aug. 5th. Chicago bluesman Toronzo Cannon defies all expectations. The blistering guitarist, soulful vocalist, singular songwriter, and city bus driver fuses his muscular, rock-inspired blues guitar playing with his original, keenly detailed slice-of-life songs, blazing his blues trail. His live performances unfailingly earn him heaps of critical praise and hordes of wildly enthusiastic fans. Cannon has played major cities throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan. Now, with the release of “The Preacher, The Politician Or The Pimp,” Cannon builds upon the foundation he’s laid, creating and defining his vision of contemporary blues.

Cannon will perform at the Omaha Performing Arts Holland Center in the beautiful outdoor Mammel Courtyard at 8:00 PM. Seating will be provided.
