DEADWOOD, S.D. — Deadwood Blues Festival 2026 is proud to announce the
Saturday night lineup at Outlaw Square for July 11, 2026, featuring Amani Burnham,
Ruthie Foster, and Keb’ Mo’.

The evening will open with Amani Burnham, a young, up-and-coming blues-rock artist
gaining momentum with a fresh sound and a growing profile. Burnham will be followed
by Ruthie Foster, the acclaimed vocalist and songwriter whose powerful blend of blues,
soul, and gospel has earned widespread recognition, including multiple GRAMMY
nominations and a 2025 GRAMMY win for Best Contemporary Blues Album for Mileage.
Headlining the night is Keb’ Mo’, one of the most respected and award-winning artists
in modern blues. With five GRAMMY Awards and a career spanning blues, folk, soul,
and Americana, Keb’ Mo’ brings a level of artistry and stage presence that makes him a
standout headliner for the festival’s 2026 return.

“This lineup reflects what we want Deadwood Blues Festival to be,” said festival organizers. “It brings together an exciting young artist, a powerful and celebrated performer in Ruthie Foster, and a living legend in Keb’ Mo’. It’s a strong Saturday night at Outlaw Square and a great example of the kind of experience we’re building in Deadwood.”

Deadwood Blues Festival 2026 will take place July 10–12, 2026, with Saturday night at
Outlaw Square serving as one of the weekend’s signature events. Additional regional
artists and the full festival schedule will be announced later.
