📋About
Le vendredi 13 novembre 2026 à 21h, l'association La Note Blues organise à Availles-en-Châtellerault une soirée blues accueillant la tournée du Chicago Blues Festival, à l'Espace Culturel René-Descartes. Cette édition 2026 marque un retour aux sources du blues électrique, avec un plateau venu de Jackson, capitale du Mississippi, mené par le guitariste et chanteur Zac Harmon, figure tutélaire de la scène blues contemporaine.
À ses côtés se produiront le jeune talent texan Kingston Livingston, la chanteuse de gospel devenue artiste blues Lady Adrena, ainsi que Chris Gipson à la basse, Marvin Holly au clavier et Ralph Forrest à la batterie. Ce plateau inédit met en avant la nouvelle génération du blues du Mississippi tout en honorant la transmission portée par Zac Harmon, qui retrouve le public européen vingt ans après sa première tournée sur le continent.
