Ural Thomas & The Pain, John Ellison, Curtis Salgado, Terrie Odabi, Ernie Johnson, Larry Springfield, J. P. Bimeni, Selassie Burke, Chick Rodgers, Fred Wesley, Martha High, Leon Beal & Luca Giordano Band, Mitch Woods and many others will take the stage in Porretta. In addition to these names, there will be the presence of the house band from San Francisco, the Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra, which has been nominated for five Blues Awards this year. Among the eleven elements is the presence of Larry Batiste, former musical director of the Grammy Awards.

The evocative atmosphere of Porretta Terme will be the setting for the event together with the Street Food Village, street food with an inevitable focus on the most typical products of the Bolognese Apennines in the city centre. All in the context of free concerts by rhythm & blues bands starting at 11 am on the Rufus Thomas Cafe Stage in the central Piazza della Libertà.
