Country Fest

Country Fest is a live night of blues, country and folk music at The Live Rooms Chester, in Chester. It brings together three roots traditions with distinct origins.

Country Fest brings blues, country and folk together in a single live music night in Chester. Each style has its own lineage: blues grew out of African American song in the American South in the early twentieth century, country developed from Southern string-band and ballad traditions, and folk is the older body of songs learned by ear and passed between generations.

The Live Rooms Chester hosts concerts and shows in Chester, and this night is part of that programme. It suits listeners who follow roots music, the family of styles that links these three genres, and those drawn to songs built on storytelling.
