The T-Bone Walker Blues Fest, Inc is an IRS-designated Section 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation. The Corporation is dedicated to honoring the legacy of blues legend Aaron "T-Bone" Walker by:
The festival is a celebration of "The Blues" that brings music lovers together in the birthplace of musical giants – Linden, Texas. Linden is the home of native sons Scott Joplin (Ragtime Jazz), T-Bone Walker, and Don Henley (The Eagles Band). The festival is sanctioned by the Estate of T-Bone Walker and is hosted by his daughter, Bernita Walker.
Proceeds generated by the 2012 festival will be shared with the Fairview Community Center and the Music City Texas Theater. These IRS-designated 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporations are devoted to improving the quality of life of the Linden community and enhancing the arts in Cass County.
Of particular importance is creating opportunities to expose our youth to this American art form of The Blues. We are working on a presentation program for the Mae Luster Stephens Middle School and the Linden-Kildare High School. Some students from neighboring communities will be able to attend these presentations.
We will showcase two youth bands again this year - The Matthew Davidson Band from Shreveport, Louisiana and The Peterson Brothers Band from Austin, Texas.
