Описание: The Jacobson House Native Art Center and Rock the Native Vote presented the Native Blues Festival on Saturday, March 15, 2025. The Native Blues Festival featured an Art Market, three Native Blues Bands, three Native Blues singers, and Native Food Vendors with their delectable food choices.

A total of 30 Native Food and Art Market Vendors set up inside the Jacobson House and on the Jacobson House’s big lawn that boarders on the University of Oklahoma’s Reunion Park to the east, Boyd Street to the north, and the Chautaqua Historic District located from the west and onto the south. The Art Market vendors' items ranged from beadwork to artwork in the various art mediums. Each Native food vendor’s culinary skills made it hard to choose which food one wanted to enjoy.

Those that came out to the Native Blues Festival were able to be outside to enjoy the family friendly event by browsing the Pop Up Tent Art Market Vendors and cooked on the spot meal choices fresh from the food vendors. As attendees browsed the Pop Ups and the food vendors, the attendees, as well as the Native Artist and Food Vendors were able to listen to the day long into the evening line up of Blues Bands and Blues Singers.

The Blues Singers included AJ Harvey, Justice Johnson, and Wewoka Switch Tony. The Blues Bands included the Cecil Gray Native Blues; the Chebon Tiger Trio and the Redmen Blues Band.
