The Deep Blues Festival<\/a>, an annual celebration of “outsider blues”, will be reborn this Saturday, July 16, at the Beachland Ballroom<\/a> in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio. The original incarnation of DBF – which featured some NTSIB favorites like Patrick Sweany, the Black Diamond Heavies, Scott H. Biram and T-Model Ford with GravelRoad – saw it’s end with an announcement from founder Chris Johnson in February of 2010. (Check out this interview with Johnson<\/a> for a brief history of the fest.) <\/p>\n

Unwilling to let DBF die, Ted Drozdowski of Scissormen and Jim Chilson of the Ten Foot Polecats took over the name and the spirit – with Chris Johnson’s blessing – and moved the fest from Minnesota to Ohio. And we are freaking excited about it. <\/p>\n

In this week leading up to DBF11, we’re going to spotlight a few of this year’s artists each day, along with some DBF alumni.<\/p>\n

Name:<\/b> Left Lane Cruiser
\nHomebase:<\/b> Fort Wayne, Indiana
