Blues lovers made their way to Falls Church City to take part in the annual Tinner Hill Blues Festival, held last weekend at locations throughout the City. The event included a lecture on the history of women in the blues, children’s activities, performances of “Tinner Hill: Portraits in Black and White,” a barbecue cook-off, and of course, many blues performances from such musicians as Deanna Bogart, Nadine Rae, Patty Reese, Gaye Adegbalola, Tom Principato, Curtis Blues, the Pluckerland Band, Jr. Bynum and the Groove Masters.
