With a career spanning approximately six decades, Buddy Reed represents the kind of blues tradition that comes from years spent playing the music live — in clubs, festivals, community halls and wherever people gather to listen and dance.

Backed by The Rip It Ups, Reed delivers a lively blend of blues, rhythm & blues, roots and rock 'n' roll built around guitar, groove and the spontaneous energy of a live band.

The Harvest Moon Dance offers the perfect setting for that music: a relaxed community evening where longtime blues fans, dancers, friends and families can come together and celebrate the beginning of the fall season.

Rather than simply being a concert, the evening is an invitation to get out on the dance floor.
