-

Main Street Madison Georgia will kick off the summer with the first Peach State Blues Festival in Madison, Georgia, on Saturday, June 2, 2012, from noon to 10:00 pm. The celebrated, legendary Blues singer Bobby Rush will be the festival's headliner. Blues singers Claudette King (daughter of legendary B.B. King), Willie Hill, Bobbye (Doll) Johnson, Cantwise and Freedom, Cruisers, Lady D and the Set it Off Band will also perform. The event will be hosted by Comedian Ms.Woo and will be held at Town Park.

In a recent interview, right off a tour from Japan, Rush says he's excited about bringing the blues to Madison, Georgia. "We're going to do what we do best and that's sang blues, play blues and entertain and be happy. I am that I am, " he says. Performing since he was a teenager, Rush has 56 years under his belt. He has toured the world for the last 49 years and despite him almost hitting 80-years-old, he shows no sign of slowing down. "I don't think I've been off 9 weeks in the last 49 years, " he says. Throughout his career, he has written and produced 249 records, signed with many major record companies and released many albums and received numerous awards. Later this year, he will release his new album. While initially a Chicago blues singer (for 46 years), he eventually broke through with his unique style that incorporated blues, funk and folk and relocated to Jackson, Mississippi. In 1968, he released his first hit record, "Chicken Head" and hit Gold status. He soon followed that up with more hit records (Sue, I Ain't Studdin' You) that hit Gold status. Some of his regional hits include: "It's Alright", "Bow-Legged Woman, Knock Kneed Man" & One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, She's A Good Un, and What's Good For The.

Rush has received many awards and recognitions, including "Best Live Performer of the Year", "Best Blues Entertainer of the Year", and "Best Soul/Blues Albums of the Year" (Blues Highway). The Living Blues Critics' Poll named him the year's Best Live Performer in 1995. In fact, on May 9, 2012, The Blues Music Awards will be televised and Rush is up for "Record of the Year", "Best Entertainer of the Year", and "Producer of the Year".

The festival will be an annual event in Madison. "We're looking forward to our first blues festival in Madison, Georgia. We're very excited about bringing the legendary Blues singer Bobby Rush and the other blues artist to the beautiful city of Madison, " says organizer's "We have partnered with Main Street Madison and we plan to bring you a day of great entertainment, food and fun.

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....
