Omaha, NE - Héctor Anchondo, Omaha’s own Blues hero and reigning champion of the International Blues Challenge Solo/Duo award, has teamed up with the Blues Society of Omaha to present In The Market For Blues, Omaha’s Blues Fest on Saturday, August 6, 2022. The all-day music festival features 14 hours of live music at multiple venues in Omaha’s Old Market, Capitol District, and Downtown Omaha.

A Homecoming for our Headliner: Curtis Salgado will perform for In The Market For Blues at the Omaha Performing Arts Holland Center outdoor Courtyard on Saturday, Aug. 6th. This performance is a homecoming for Curtis as he was a recipient of a transplant in 2006 at Nebraska Medicine after being turned down by 91 other transplant centers. He stayed in Nebraska for 3 months following his surgery and has proudly proclaimed “Omaha saved my life.”

Riverfront Outdoor Stage: As part of the Blues Society of Omaha’s mission to introduce and promote Blues Music to individuals and families in the Omaha area, we are proud to offer a free component of our festival at the newly revitalized Gene Leahy Mall in the Performance Pavilion. We are delighted to be chosen as one of the very first concerts in this new event space.
