The inaugural 2022 Soulard B3 festival was a great one. We're already planning for the 2023 B3 festival to be even better, so watch for great things!
"It was a fine day in the Soulard neighborhood, an afternoon of excellent music and social living in the city. The term 'Culture = Community' was on display that afternoon, and this inaugural event bodes well for the future of a new St. Louis event."
"One of the greatest events I’ve been to in four years. Thank you to all those who volunteered, organized, and shared their artistic talents. Special thanks to the committee members"
"The event was surely one to attend annually. I will definitely spread the word. Looking forward to attending in 2023. Thank you for keeping music alive."

"We had a great day there. Roland Johnson, HY-C and the band Fresh Start, very good. Then the Jeremiah Johnson band with Frank Bauer destroyed the place. As usual. Just a fantastic time, can't wait until next year."
Had a Total Blast. Thanks to all involved! This one day festival was totally worth the early morn crack of dawn drive up from the IBC in Memphis. I went from an international stage to a world class pro stage all in one day!"
I was pleased with the casual, family atmosphere of the event but also that it also appealed to singles, couples, and seniors across the board. It was a crowd happy to be around others, happy to be listening to the Blues, music which is so significant in the culture of this community.
A new, special event which is relevant to the community in which it is held.
"The inaugural Soulard B3 Festival was truly a day of blues, bites and brews and offered something for everyone! Art vendors, music educational harmonica workshop complete with free harmonica, and so much more. The fans and families showed up in spades and happy faces and feet were everywhere. I look forward to supporting this great new blues festival and the SHARE non profit organization in their continuing mission. Bravo!
"Two words keep coming to my mind when thinking about the inaugural B3 Festival last weekend. World Class. I’ve played festivals all over the world for decades and THIS B3 fest stands out to me as being well planned, well thought out, well done and just well, well, well!! DO MORE!
"What an awesome day."
"My name is Chris Shepherd, and I was one of the musicians that played at the festival this year. This was such a fantastic way to invite folks to come out and enjoy live music, and to meet and hang out with family and friends. The joyful looks on peoples faces was truly inspiring. It was yet another reminder of why I love performing so much.
