Hungary is famous for its creativity. Hungarian musicians and musicians with Hungarian roots are building the bridge of music between the two countries. The first Hungarian Heritage Blues Festival will gather a fantastic group of Hungarian-American musicians including Little G. Weevil, John Németh and Grammy Award winner John Popper of the Blues Traveler. The Festival celebrates the integrity of music, exceptional talent and promises a very special journey to the spring of happiness.
Proceeds from the Festival will benefit the restoration of the Martin Himler (Ret. Col. USA) House in Beauty, Kentucky (formerly Himlerville), home of Hungarian immigrant, Martin Himler, as a future United States national landmark. Colonel Martin Himler served in Hungary and later, in the United States as member of the United States Office of Strategic Services (now the Central Intelligence Agency), in World War II.
