The festival has grown in size and grandeur since its initial appearance and attracts an estimated audience of 30,000 people throughout the weekend.

Randy Scott was born and raised in blue collar Detroit, Michigan -- Motown, a city steeped in a rich musical tradition. His mother played piano in the Pentecostal church which always had lively music and his father was a hardworking Ford Motor factory man who just happened to love the "blues." Randy started playing guitar around 11 or 12 and started to get serious when he attended the Guitar Institute (G.I.T.) and poured his soul into music. After struggles and frustration with the music business he stopped playing completely and sold every guitar he had. Nine years later he wandered into a Guitar Center. A store manager heard Randy riffing on a guitar and suggested he enter into the King of the Blues competition, the nationwide search for the next great undiscovered blues guitar player. On a fluke he entered and ended up advancing beyond thousands of other guitarists to be named winner of Guitar Center's 4th annual King of the Blues. Randy is now endorsed by Gibson, Egnater, Ernie Ball, Roland/Boss and Xotic Effects, his album is finished and due out in 2012.
