Blues for Breakfast is finally coming to Ryan's Wake for a free outdoor concert during Troy's Pig Out.

Led by harmonica player and vocalist Charlie “Mr. Charlie” Frazier, Blues for Breakfast delivers interpretive takes on the Grateful Dead catalog mixed with blues, rock, and jam, rather than note-for-note recreations. Frazier is a fixture of the Vermont music scene and host of the legendary Blues for Breakfast radio show on WIZN.
