The Michael Arnone’s Crawfish Fest returns in 2026 with its lineup announcement featuring Samantha Fish, Rebirth Brass Band and Kenny Neal as headliners. The festival continues its tradition of bringing together blues, brass and Louisiana-rooted music.

Samantha Fish takes the stage as one of the featured performers. The guitarist and singer-songwriter has built her career on a foundation of blues rock, releasing multiple albums and touring internationally since her debut in 2009.

Rebirth Brass Band brings their signature sound to the festival grounds. The New Orleans group has been performing since 1983, helping define the brass band tradition while incorporating elements of funk, jazz and hip-hop into their performances.

Kenny Neal rounds out the headlining acts with his approach to Louisiana blues. Neal, who began performing professionally as a teenager, represents multiple generations of blues musicians from Baton Rouge and has recorded over a dozen albums during his career.

The festival will feature crawfish and other food vendors alongside the musical performances. Additional performers and scheduling details are expected to be announced in the coming months, with tickets going on sale through the festival’s website and authorized outlets.
