The Split Blues Festival, with its respectable list of performers over the years and top-quality production, has gained national recognition.

The speciality of this festival lies in the selection of the bands, which all stem from the core of blues, jazz, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, rock and many subjunctive factions that have been formed. The Split Blues Festival, unlike other blues festivals, spans across all fuses and does not just remain within the framework of Chicago or delta blues – it is a place where you can enjoy the diversity of this genre, and the sounds and compilations of the chosen bands.

As a warm-up for the 7th Split Blues Festival, the EVO RUKE festival at Đardin screened Matko Petrić’s film ”Earl Jones was Right” last night. This documentary covers the Split blues scene and the cult group Otprilike Ovako, who has been around since 1973. The songwriter and singer Jadran Zlodre Gobbo died in 2008 and this year’s festival will be dedicated to him.
