Beautiful July weather and the most impressive collective of talent was the perfect combination for a larger than ever crowd at the 21st annual Prairie Dog Blues Festival this weekend. Multi-faceted singer and guitarist Samantha Fish (above, right) and her six-piece band closed down the main stage Friday night with sweet flair, while Josh Hoyer, a 2017 "The Voice" contestant, and his band Colossal Soul, soothed the audience earlier in the evening with his vocals and performance on the keys.

These pictures show the unique concert experience the blues fest crowd enjoys and just how close the crowd can get to the artists, without paying for any VIP package.

The many skills of Samantha Fish: A cigar box guitar and a megaphone for her encore performance....

...On electric guitar

...Swaggy vocals

...Pretty poses for the camera

For 21 years, fans have been coming to Prairie du Chien from all over the U.S., and other parts of the world, to take in the global musicians who grace the Prairie Dog Blues Festival crowd with their untouchable blues, rock, funk, gospel and even country stylings. Fans of all ages enjoy a dozen live performances from an up-close-and-personal view and, if they wish, they can even take home autographs and pictures with the artists for free. The festival once again brought over 6,000 people to the community for what was a successful weekend for local organizers Todd Yeomans, Sharon Morgan and their family, friends and community volunteers.
