The blues scene kicks into high gear as the free Black-Eyed & Blues Fest returns to Hartford’s Bushnell Park on Saturday and Sunday.
The Mighty Soul Drivers start things off Saturday. They bring the classic soul sounds of Memphis, Muscle Shoals and points South to the hills of New England.

The band won the 2015 Connecticut Blues Society Blues Challenge and went on to represent the state at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
