King Biscuit Time is a publication designed to serve fans, artists, festivals, music societies, and the blues music industry in general. The magazine has a unique editorial approach and distribution model.

King Biscuit Time is content rich. The magazine focuses on blues legends, current stars, and rising blues artists, as well as the business of the blues industry and its festivals and events. Each issue has a content focus around a single blues festival or group of festivals. King Biscuit Time provides year-round exposure for festival partners by promoting them in each issue. Feature articles and follow-up stories are put into the hands of the market segment that is most likely to attend festivals, buy CD’s and organize future events.

King Biscuit Time brings more meaningful content, and a greater quantity of information, to the festival fan at each venue and a wide audience of subscribers. This approach enhances the experience of each festival attendee, provide greater visibility and access to the performers, and create a stronger connection between the fans and the artists. Of course, we plan thorough coverage of the venue, its performance lineup and the local places you just may catch the artists jamming. Special editions focusing on a group of festivals with a common geography or timing are also featured periodically during the year (i.e. New York Festival Issue).
