Bennett Kelly
(Saturday)

Bennett will be selling and signing his new book "Sensation Blues"

Sensation Blues is a rock and roll novel, like a Catcher in the Rye but all bluesed up.

Set in the contemporary Mississippi Delta, SENSATION BLUES introduces precocious practitioner McKinley Robinson in pursuit of his “It.” With beloved older brother Paul off to play college football across the country, McKinley pours himself into his blues passions, hustling from the juke joints of Clarksdale’s Delta Avenue to the neon marquees of Beale Street, Memphis. Under the auspices of their hell-raising uncle Ira, McKinley cavorts with blues legends and courts unavoidable trouble with would-be authority figures on his clear-eyed leap over the cliff of self-discovery.
