Wallace Blues Festival

If you think of Wallace as merely a quiet stop in the middle of the Idaho panhandle, it won’t take long for the Wallace Blues Festival to show you the town has a lot of life. The fest’s fourth edition is bringing 17 bands and solo acts to six stages scattered on the streets and inside clubs, including headliner Kenny Neal, a Louisiana singer/guitarist, as well as Too Slim & the Taildraggers, Studebaker John and many more. If you make it through the Friday and Saturday slates, or even if you don’t, you’ll want to check out the Sunday Blues Pancake Feed, where you get a side of the Sara Brown Band with a tasty breakfast served up by the Kiwanis Club.
