Belgium Blues Bash 2020 lineup


Hosted by the Paramount Music Association, this year’s big (and socially-distanced) music celebration takes place in Belgium, Wisconsin. It’s called the Belgium Blues Bash, and it celebrates the remarkable music history of the area. There’s a reason neighboring towns Grafton and Port Washington are the northernmost locations on the Mississippi Blues Trail, after all. A nice lineup is on deck, and there will be plenty of room for social distancing.

The Belgium Blues Bash is this year’s big music event that the Paramount Music Festival typically hosts. The whole idea is to celebrate Paramount Records, where artists during the 1917-1932 era – typically African-American – would come to a Wisconsin chair factory and record music in a studio the company had built. The songs would be distributed on Paramount Records, which is increasingly being recognized as one of the early trailblazers in Blues, R&B, Gospel, and even Country music. Get more background from our episode covering this fascinating story and topic on the State Trunk Tour Podcast.
