FISHERS, Ind. — The 14th Annual Fishers Blues Fest returned to the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater over Labor Day weekend, Sept. 5–6, bringing two nights of free, all-ages blues, soul, R&B and roots music to downtown Fishers.

The festival continued its tradition of making live blues accessible to everyone with a welcoming atmosphere for music fans of all ages.

Saturday’s lineup featured Indianapolis favorites MoJo Gumbo, the J R Clark Band, rising St. Louis vocalist Dylan Triplett, and headliner Judith Hill, whose powerful vocals and genre-blending sound brought the first night to a strong finish.

Sunday’s lineup featured performances from the Blues Brothers Triumphant Tribute, Bloomington’s King Bee & The Stingers, Houston guitarist Mathias Lattin, and Grammy-nominated artist Jontavious Willis, who closed out the festival.

From Chicago-style blues and Louisiana roots to soul, funk, and contemporary guitar-driven blues, the two-day event showcased the genre’s depth and diversity while continuing to establish Fishers Blues Fest as a Labor Day weekend tradition in the Hamilton County area.

With its combination of nationally recognized artists, emerging talent, and Indiana favorites all presented free to the public, the 14th annual festival once again delivered a celebration of blues music that was both welcoming and community-focused.
