Grayson is becoming known as a city that brings the best music to our Community Park ... making Grayson a destination for those who love music of all genres performed by the very best artists in the Southeast. Now in its sixth year, the Grayson Blues & Brews Craft Beer Festival was voted as among Gwinnett’s favorite festivals in 2014. This year, we’ll build upon that legacy with our tradition of providing quality entertainment with the much-requested return of Tinsley Ellis to the stage on Saturday, October 24th. Tommy Talton will be taking the stage at 2 p.m. to start the day off right! We can’t wait to share this phenomenal musical line-up!

The 2015 Grayson Blues & Brews Craft Beer Festival is presented by Georgia’s own Jailhouse Brewing. and will include an unprecedented line-up of local and regional craft beers along with some of Grayson’s favorite brews. Festival goers will get an opportunity to taste and compare around 150 truly special offerings throughout the day.

At the 2014 Blues & Brews, Southern blues-rocker TINSLEY ELLIS took Grayson by storm! In the days after the festival, phone calls and e-mails began coming in requesting that we “bring Tinsley back!” So we have. Though Tinsley Ellis may speak no evil, he sings and plays with the conviction of, as Billboard wrote, “...a man possessed.” Over the course of eleven albums and literally thousands of live performances, Ellis easily ranks as one of today’s most electrifying blues-rock guitarists and vocalists. He approaches his music with rock power and blues feeling steeped in Deep South traditions. Atlanta Magazine declared Ellis “the most significant blues artist to emerge from Atlanta since Blind Willie McTell.”

Tinsley always digs deep and plays, as Guitar Player says, “…as if his life depended on it.”

MUSIC

In June, Grayson was treated to the artistry of Tommy Talton, one of the best songwriters and guitarists of our time. What a treat! And now he’s BACK ... opening for Tinsley Ellis with music starting around 2 p.m. He is a founding member of Capricorn Records group Cowboy and has toured with the Allman Brothers, Bonnie Bramlett, Martin Mull, Dickey Betts, Clarence Carter and Kitty Wells. As a wordsmith, his lyrics are as timeless as the melodies he creates. As a guitarist he has an exquisite sound that fits like a glove with his arranging sensibilities.

We’re totally excited to have such a great musical line-up paired with the oustanding beers crafted locally and regionally by innovative

brewers. The Grayson Blues & Brews Craft Beer Festival has grown each year and we expect around 1200-1500 people to help us “occupy the park” on October 24th as they enjoy a beautiful autumn afternoon with fellow enthusiasts. We’re proud

that we were selected as among the Best of Gwinnett Festivals for 2014.

This year, Grayson Blues & Brews presented by Jailhouse Brewing Company of Hampton, Georgia. The brewery was founded in 2008 and you’ll recognize some of their brands, or “Usual Suspects”: Slammer Wheat, Misdemeanor Ale, Mugshot IPA, Conjugal Visit, Breakout Stout, and Ditchdigger Brown.

We can’t wait to introduce these outstanding brews along with the more than 100 other offerings from different brewers from our region.
