(SJHF) has presented the annual Bull Durham Blues Festival to the joy and pleasure of fans from across the globe here in Durham, NC, the home of the "Piedmont Blues". Again on September 10 & 11, 2010 SJHF will present a stellar line up of national, regional and local blues musicians in the usual format but in a new venue, at the new Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) and at our home base historic St. Joseph's Performance Hall at Hayti Heritage Center.
