Every year, the North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic is closed with an all-star jam of many of the great blues performers that appeared during the two days of the festival. This year’s jam included appearances from Kenny Brown, Duwayne Burnisde, Garry Burnside, Eric Deaton and Jimbo Mathus. It was definitely a great way to close out this year’s festival. 6/30/12

Taboo Nation was the final act to appear on stage at the Tate Street Block Party, and they brought a degree of crunkness and enthusiasm with them, but unfortunately, the lateness of the day and a series of confrontations in the crowd had caused the fans to begin to disperse. A final scuffle sent a crowd of teenagers walking, then running west down Tate Street toward the former Cleaborn Homes, where they gathered in the parking lot of a church. Thankfully, there were no further incidents. It was all the more sad, and ironic, that the Tate Street Block Party was explicitly promoted as a “Stop The Violence” event.Â
After Young Dolph’s performance, there were several final acts that performed at the Tate Street Block Party in South Memphis, although the crowd had begun to melt away, 6/9/12
