Catching a Jazz or Blues Show

by balaspa on May 16th, 2008

Yet another weekend is upon us folks. Yes, time to look around town and see what’s going on as far as music for the weekend. I hear they are predicting rain as far as weather anyway, so why the heck not check out a great jazz or blues show?

I want to, as always, acknowledge the help and assistance from radio station WDCB for the events and information provided below. Once again, without them, this blog would be impossible. There is no way in hell I would go door-to-door at the various blues and jazz clubs just to ask if they had any shows going on. Thanks to WDCB, I don’t have to do that. That’s what radio station interns are for.
