The Summertime Blues Festival will feature the musical stylings of local acts Brilleaux, Kokomo and the B-Side Band at the Papamoa Tavern this Saturday.

The Summertime Blues Festival takes place at the Papamoa Tavern on Saturday, January 24.

Few Bay of Plenty venues can truly call themselves as 'iconic” but the Papamoa Tavern is just that.

Not only is it one of the Bay's longest-serving pubs but has been a prominent focus of the local music scene for 30 years.

Papamoa Tavern general manager Mark Grant says it's a very exciting time for the iconic establishment.

'The tavern was recently awarded the rights to become a Corona Spiritual Home, which is a great privilege for us and Papamoa Beach.

'This will allow us to encourage families back into the Beach Tavern with our new focus of becoming the social heart of the community once again through sponsorship, fundraising and community events.”

First up will rockabillies the B-Side Band will delve into a song-bag full of obscure hits of the 1950s and 1960s you thought you might never hear again.

Tauranga six-piece band Kokomo will hit the stage next with their brand of blues and roots music and dynamic live show, which you can guarantee will get the crowd firing.

Finishing off the day will be the most groovy Brilleaux, whose rhythm and blues stylings is sure to keep the crowd on their feet dancing well after the sun goes down.

The Summertime Blues Festival is on at Papamoa Tavern on Saturday, January 24.
