Among the performers featured at this year's Reykjavík Blues Festival are The Yardbirds . This band produced the ultra-talented Blues playing guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. The Yardbirds paved the way for the Blues in UK pop music and had a tremendous impact on the contemporary music of the times. Also performing is Magic Slim , a living legend who's coming straight from Chicago with his band, The Teardrops. The Blues diva Deitra Farr is also one of this year's guest performers at the Reykjavík Blues Festival, as well as The Blue Ice Band and many others. The Norwegian Blues duo Jolly Jumper & Big Moe , whose style is inspired by the Blues traditions of the early 1900s, will be attending the festival for their second time.
There are many Icelandic Jazz and Blues performers attending the festival this year. Among those is the well-known Blue Shadows whose members include the talented Sigurdur Flosason, Jón Pall Bjarnason, Þorir Baldursson and Pétur Ostlund .
