    History

    History of Rollin on the River

    The first Rollin on the River Festival in 1989 featured Buddy Holly's

     Crickets. In the second year, the festival moved downriver to Keokuk's 

    Hubinger Landing and featured a reunion of hometown bands. The third 

    year, the festival received a grant from the Iowa Department of Cultural

     Affairs, which gave organizers a much-needed financial boost and the 

    blues was chosen as the primary music format. The festival was moved to 

    historic Victory Park, where it remains today.


    The event is the longest running blues festival and the only one of 

    its kind in the Tri-State area. Through the years, Rollin' on the River 

    has presented some of the finest blues musicians around, including Magic

     Slim, Jimmy Thackery, Studebaker John, Joanna Conner, Lonnie Brooks, 

    Bernard Allison, Buckwheat Zydeco, and Doyle Bramhall, just to name a 

    few. 


    In addition to stage performers, ROR presents musical workshops and 

    young people's activities on Saturday afternoons, along with offering 

    scholarships  and a used instrument lending program for local students.
