Blues & Brews Draws Crowds To Sutter Creek
By Alex Lane - Another successful blues and brews festival drew crowds from far and wide to Sutter Creek last weekend. Two separate blocks on Randolph and Eureka Streets were fenced off to create beer gardens and high-energy musical venues for two highly-rated blues rock bands. The Shane Dwight Band, winners of the Monterey Bay Blues Festival, kept the crowd moving on Eureka Street . Over by the Palace Bar and Restaurant, local favorite Daddy Chillin’ kept things funky long into the night. “I come here from Stockton every year just for the people and the atmosphere,” said Sheryl Hillman, a devoted attendee of the event. In addition to the music, a number of local vendors served food. Susan’s Place, located across the street from the Eureka Street parking lot, offered lasagna and French bread. Each beer garden offered a variety of imported beers. We’ll look forward to another successful event next year.
