FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

It with is with much disappointment we announce the postponement of the 2009 Riverwalk Blues and Music Festival. After much deliberation the festival organizers have determined there is not enough sponsorship and funding to hold the annual music festival as planned. Numerous alternative plans are being discussed to move the date later for 2009 or begin working on a festival plans for 2010. Updates will be posted at www.riverwalkbluesfestival.com.

We appreciate all the requests and submissions. Anyone wishing to help secure sponsorship or become a sponsor please contact djdar@blueatheart.com

The Riverwalk Blues and Music Festival is a legacy left behind by the late Don Cohen and should be continued to immortalize this great promoter and supporter of the blues.
