Pleth Co-Sponsors Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival

Pleth Networks, LLC partner and co-founder Pleth recently launched the newly-redesigned website for the ABHF (Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival) and is also providing consulting services to the festival leadership committee in regards to social media, e-commerce, and web promotion. 

“I am honored to have a small role with the festival this year! I have been working very closely with some old friends on the project and making a few new ones as well.  It’s been a lot of fun reconnecting with everyone.  Our goal so far is to just establish a presence on the web and point everyone to that central location for information.” 

“Over the years a lot of unfortunate things have taken place that more or less left the ABHF without a web presence up until this week.  My partners and I assisted them with reclaiming their domain name and to launch phase 1 of the project.  Things are starting to come together thanks to the help of volunteers that keep feeding me information as they get it.  We still have a pretty good way to go before we are where we need to be, but each day we are inching closer!” added Rohrscheib.

About The Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival
It’s when Delta Blues fans head on down to Helena, AR for 3 days of the best Blues in the Delta. The King Biscuit Blues Festival began in 1986 as a one-day musical tribute to the Blues roots of Helena and the man at those roots, Sonny Boy Williamson. The "King Biscuit" in its name stems from the fact that Sonny Boy Williamson was a founding performer on King Biscuit Time,a live Blues program on the radio. The program was sponsored by King Biscuit Flour.

What started out as a small festival has gained a reputation throughout the nation and always draws a big crowd. Despite all the growth, the festival organizers have remained loyal to their roots. The festival is still dedicated to the Blues as performed by the musicians that were directly or indirectly influenced by Sonny Boy and his contemporaries. These artists include Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton, Robert Lockwood, Jr., Billy Branch, Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets featuring Sam Myers, Charlie Mussellwhite, Frank Frost, Sam Carr and a host of others. The festival has four stages and it is estimated that over 100,000 people will be in attendance this year. They have dozens of Blues musicians and even a Gospel stage. The lineup for 2009 has not been announced but will be listed on the ABHF website when it becomes available.
