Thousands were lured to the 5th annual event! Did you go? Upload your photos here!
When Tyrone Square Mazda became the presenting sponsor of the 5th Annual Tangerine Blues Fest in Gulfport, organizers knew it would result in a larger donation to All Children's Hospital. The numbers are still coming in, but officials believe this year's attendance surpassed last year's numbers of about 8,000 attendees. This year's line up originally included Sterling Magee, however, officials were notified that he was unable to make it and The Dukes of Juke filled in at the last minute. Other live bands included No Money Down, Betty Fox and Sean Chambers. Last year So49 donated $5,000 to All Children's Hospital. The money more than quadrupled its donation from $1,200 in 2010.

Expect more seating, food trucks and more on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Tangerine Greenway in Gulfport.
The 5th annual Tangerine Blues Fest will feature a few "upgrades" this year including a presenting sponsor. Tyrone Square Mazda has agreed to a $5,000 sponsorship for the event. Organizers say this is great news because that means they'll be able to spend less to put together the free event and give more to All Children's Hospital this year. Last year So49 donated $5,000 to All Children's Hospital. The money more than quadrupled its donation from $1,200 in 2010. Other changes this year include more seating at the event and changing out food tents for food trucks. That means there will be more seating on the greenway.

Saturday’s SoStudio Tour brought behind-the-scenes insight to the masses.
Once again, Gulfport lives up to its reputation of being an art community. A rare connection between local artists paves the way for events like Saturday’s SoStudio Tour. Each participating artist was given the chance to present their studio to the public, artwork and all. Last year’s trial run of the SoStudio Tour was kept small with just five studios and one point of departure for guests. With the amount of support the event received, the 2012 showcased more than tripled. Saturday hosted 16 studios and three points of departure. “There was a lot of enthusiasm the first year, so then they told us to make it bigger,” said Andrea Royce. She is the Vice President of So49 and an event organizer. 16 area studios were featured along the route …

Quite a music mixture: country, country rock, sawgrass blues. A number of folks were confused a bit about this "blues-promoted" festival. Beautiful night to dance and get down under the stars to whatever the band wanted to play. Folks were into it. Food was uneven: Ribs tasty, but the collard greens needed seasoning and this was the first time in my life that I had a sweet potato with absolutely … more ›
