For Free: Duke Robillard, The Slip, Steve Forbert

Patrick Norton, president of the Narrows Center for the Arts, has put together an incredible line-up for this year's Fall River Festival of the Arts, taking place Sunday, September 18, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

And it's all free.

Blues guitarist and founder of Roomful of Blues, Duke Robillard, and his band will be doing their thing in the streets of Fall River.

For free.

Duke is up for another "Blues Grammy"(actually called the W.C. Handy Award). So, despite getting Roomful of Blues rolling nearly 40 years ago, Duke is playing better than ever!

While Duke has never played the Narrows Center for the Arts, jam banders, The Slip, have. They'll also be playing at this year's Fall River Festival of the Arts.

For free.

Don't know 'em? That's okay. Listen to some of their stuff by clicking here.

Our buddy Steve Forbert--who played the Narrows earlier this year--is also on the bill. Steve is best known for his monster hit record "Romeo's Tune" way back when. He's done so much since! Listen to some of it by clicking here.

Actually, even though you won't have to pay anything to attend, there are a lot of costs that need to be covered to bring these and other performers to you. More details on the fun ways you can help coming soon!
