Connecticut Rhythm & Blues Festival Returns for Its Third Year with a Powerhouse Lineup

 

New Britain, CT — [September 23, 2025] — The Connecticut Rhythm & Blues Festival (CTRB) is back for its third and most exciting year yet, bringing an unforgettable celebration of soul-stirring music to Trinity-On-Main in New Britain on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM

.

This year’s dynamic lineup features powerhouse performances by Sugaray Rayford, the legendary Vaneese Thomas, and local favorites Snake Hill Blues. These artists promise an electrifying afternoon and evening of rhythm, blues, and unforgettable live music in the heart of Connecticut.


Hosted by the nonprofit Connecticut Rhythm & Blues (CTRB) organization, the annual festival not only delivers top-tier musical talent but also raises vital funds for two important causes: music education programs for children and direct support for musicians in need.

"This will be our biggest year yet," says CTRB President Ellen Sebastian. "We are so excited we can bring some incredible R&B to Connecticut while giving back to the music community. There are still sponsorship opportunities available for those who want to be part of something truly meaningful."


The Connecticut Rhythm & Blues Festival has quickly become a beloved tradition for fans across New England. With its unique blend of national talent and local impact, it's more than a concert—it's a celebration of culture, community, and the power of music.
