Description

The Prairie Crossroads Blues Society (PCBS) is hosting its 7th annual 2025 Prairie Crossroads Blues Fest, taking place at Bunny’s Tavern parking lot in Urbana on Friday, August 8th, and Saturday, August 9th. This two-day event promises a stellar lineup of local, regional, and nationally touring blues acts, offering a free admission experience for all attendees. Donations are encouraged to help fund the fest and contribute to the Blues in the Schools (BITS) Education Fund, with 10% of any profits supporting this cause. The year’s festival schedule kicks off on Friday with a Blues Jam hosted by The Painkillers Blues Band, followed by Billy Galt and The Blues Deacons, and headlining the evening with Chicago’s own Stefan Hillesheim. Saturday’s performances include Andrew Duncanson and Take A Ride, featuring Michael Peloquin, A-Train Willson and Ther’Up.Y, The Bluetone Drivers, rounding out the evening with CU legend Candy Foster and the Shades of Blue. The Blues Fest is both a celebration of music but a community effort to keep the blues alive and thriving. The event highlights the importance of community support, with donations directly impacting the ability to bring high-quality blues music to the area and fund educational initiatives. The event attracts fans of all ages, coming together to enjoy the soulful rhythms of the blues. Head to Bunny’s Tavern for a weekend of music, community, and support for the blues.
