Posted by Max Brantley on Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 6:10 AM

Three busloads of music lovers will roll out of town before long on the Arkansas Times' Blues Bus excursion to the King Biscuit Blues Festival, which got underway yesterday in Helena-West Helena.

Times' photographer Brian Chilson arrived yesterday. He provided the picture above and has lots more on Facebook.

Plenty of details on the event at Rock Candy. Bonnie Raitt is tonight's headliner.
