Today is the day! BSMF kicks off and we can’t wait.
As an added bonus, we have a special interview with Memphian Kerry Crawford. Kerry is the writer of I Love Memphis, the host of Mystery Train on WEVL and an all around cool chick. She’s been to BSMF several times and she offers excellent advice for the first-timer. She also shares some of her favorite memories of the festival, what performances she’s looking forward to and of course, the good food she plans on eating. Check it out!

Who are you most excited to see at BSMF 2012?:
Kerry: The list is long – Dr. Dog, Al Green, Jerry Lee Lewis, Childish Gambino and the Old 97s are at the top of it, though.
What advice would you give for those who will be attending for the first time?:
Kerry: Wear real shoes. I’ve seen many a lonely flip flop, abandoned in the mud. Also, pack a change of clothes and a towel in your car and keep your phone in a Ziploc baggie.
What’s the best thing to eat at BSMF?:
Kerry: This year, anything from one of the local food trucks. Look for Revival (their dirty fries are excellent), Fuel Truck, or the popsicles from Yolo.
What is your best memory from BSMF?:
Kerry: Probably seeing the Chilean band (I think their name translated to “Pigs of Rock” or something like that) in 2009. They were incredible and everyone was way into them, despite the language barrier.
Finish this sentence, Beale Street Music Festival is great because:
Kerry: You can see local bands alongside big deal national bands. Also, the people watching is incredible.
