The Holmes Brothers

very soulful evening. i loved it . had a wonderful time, would go see them again.

two great local opening acts and three major headliners. well worth the money. the club looks the same as it did the last time I was there in 1992. they could stand to put a little money into the place fixing and cleaning it up. otherwise it was a great show.

I have attended the Bluesfest a number of times. The talent is incredible and the price of $20.00 to see 4 or 5 bands is a real deal! My favorite radio station, WXPN, helped to advertise the event this year. I like how The Chameleon puts local talent together with more well-known groups. I just wish Lancaster County would support the Blues genre more than they do and that the people from here would get up and "shake their groove thang". I felt that The Holmes Brothers were fantastic! Their harmony gave me goosebumps! The other groups were good, too, but I went to hear The Holmes Brothers, whose style was more to my liking than the bands that were heavier on the electric guitar and sounded more like rock to me. I highly reccommend this event and intend to support it in the future.

The Holmes Brothers are pros all the way. Their playing was effortless. There voices blended so well yet each still retained their own uniquness. While I anticipated great vocals, Wendell's guitar solo's were very impressive. I'd see them again in a heartbeat!

First half was definitely better than the second; group appeared to want to raise the volume to compensate for their singing, which was so-so. Good instrumentation. They wanted to succeed and kept asking us if they were.
