Cool Disposition and the Dee Miller Band, two acts from the Minneapolis area, will play for Saturday's Blues on the Red Concert from 5 to 10 p.m. in Grand Forks Town Square.
The event is the second of three Blues on the Red concerts that will be sponsored this summer by the Greater Grand Forks Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Cool Disposition, the headliner, is proud of an influence that can be traced directly back to Muddy Waters, a news release said. The band's sound expands upon the bedrock influence of 1950s-era Chicago Blues, touching base with a variety of styles within the framework of blues and R&B.

The event will kick off with the Dee Miller Band. Dee Miller on vocals and her band present a mix of Chicago, Delta and Upper Mississippi, tempered with a little R&B and rock.
