Photos: Music fans enjoying the Riverhead Blues Festival

The annual Riverhead Blues & Music Festival got off to a good start Saturday afternoon under sunny skies with cool breezes on the historic riverfront in downtown.

By 3 p.m. a few hundred fans were on hand to listen to Patti Betti, bluesman Robert Ross Trio of NYC, the traditional American rock and roll of Josey Wales Outlaw band (in the Vail-leavitt Music Hall) and the rockabilly music of the North Fork’s own Gene Casey and the Lone Sharks, who are based in Greenport.

The Blues & Music Festival continues tonight and tomorrow.
