Vienna Blues Spring 2011

Everyone is doing well, if positive knowledge of it is taken. Not that the Vienna Blues Spring would have suffered in recent years under medial negation, on the contrary. But still it's particularly proud when the "bible" of Blue Media, which is American Blues Revue, recently noted the Vienna Blues Spring ". A mainstay on the calenders of every American blues performer" and may in fact what has become the longest Blue music festival in the world the full scoop. The reputation of the Vienna Blues Spring has deservedly established since the beginning and it makes Vienna for six weeks to the center of the international blues scene. At the same time, the festival each year to the launch of the European blue-Round Dance Festival and has long been established ten companies the most important events in this genre at the "old continent". 

The traditional venues of Vienna Blues Spring, REIGEN and MOZARTHAUS are VIENNA, 2011 to the supplement of the City Hall and the ORF RADIO CULTURE HOUSE. The Vienna City Hall will host the Blues this gala, which this year - also a new feature of the festival - a benefit evening for the club "flora - Vienna against breast cancer" will be. 

Thematically, the Vienna Blues Spring is still required especially the diversity of the music and sees it as one of its tasks, the wide spectrum of blues and related varieties of the audience to get closer. The lasting several weeks playing time makes this project so that in 2011 various genres will be covered by a classic Delta blues and Chicago blues, rock blues and soul blues to boogie. In addition, the first time a week the "Roots of the Blues" is dedicated to the ORF drifted Radiokulturhaus to African plains. Great attention will turn to local artists, not only - well - down from the capital itself. An international acts, as mentioned above, also only the "1 League to be represented "by audience favorites from previous years to artists, for the first time Austria and the Vienna Blues Spring honor. 

In this sense I wish, as every year: good condition and have fun!
