The seventeenth annual Blues BBQ is moving to a new location this year, taking place August 20 at Pier 97 in Hudson River Park. The free afternoon will feature live performances by Gaye and the Wild Rutz (2:00), Cash Box Kings (3:15), the Bernard Allison Group (4:30), the Sugaray Rayford Band (6:00), and the one and only Dirty Dozen Brass Band (7:30). Food and drink will be available for purchase from such hot joints as Arrogant Swine, Fort Gansevoort Bar-B-Cue, Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque, and Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. The Blues BBQ is sponsored by the Hudson River Park Trust, which is dedicated to, among other things, “operate and maintain the park at a high level so that it remains a community asset and economic generator, and continues to serve the millions of New Yorkers and tourists who use it annually.”
