Enjoy an immersive bourbon tasting and live music event when the Detroit Bourbon & Blues Festival comes to the historic Eastern Market Shed 5. Enjoy a festive atmosphere with guests being invited to sip, savor and experience live blues performances.
Detroit blues music is the blues played by Detroit musicians, starting around the early 1940s and 1950s. Detroit blues originated when Delta blues musicians migrated north to Detroit from Tennessee and Mississippi to work in industrial plants in the 1920s and 1930s.
The influence of Detroit blues and jazz on Motown is undeniable. Chicago is often given credit for being the home of the blues, but Detroit’s vibrant music scene also was a draw for blues and jazz musicians.
The Detroit Bourbon and Blues Festival will bring together bourbon lovers and blues fans for a unique experience. Sip on some fine bourbon while enjoying Detroit’s rich musical heritage.
There will be two sessions of Bourbon Tasting. The early session will run from 1 pm to 3 pm The second session will go from 4 pm to 6 pm.
Many people are not completely clear about the difference between whiskey and bourbon. All bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbons. Bourbon is one category of whiskey. To label a whiskey bourbon, it must meet certain federal requirements, one of which requires that the bourbon be made in the U.S.
There will be over 75 different bourbons and whiskeys available for tasting, having been carefully curated by the festival’s bourbon loving staff.
A General Admission Ticket will give you a commemorative tasting glass and access to the live performances of some of Detroit’s top blues artists. It will also include 10 Tasting Tickets. Additional Tasting Tickets will be available for purchase.
Many of Detroit’s finest food trucks will be there with dishes, snacks and desserts available for purchase. Craft vendors will also be there with unique items for sale. There will be a bar, selling refreshing beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. That sounds like a great party to me!.
