Welcome fellow Blues-Lovers.
Its the time of year that so many of us are in a frenzy getting ready for Christmas. We have lists of things to do as long as our right arm and the clock is ticking.... it's enough stress to take the fun right out of the holidays. But only if we let it. May we suggest balancing this stress with some good Blues? There's nothing like live music to soothe our weary hearts. And, Michigan has it going on, folks.
In the Flint area this week:
Whiskey Brothers at Hitch N Post in Lapeer every Thursday. Laurie Wright will be at The Fenton Hotel both Friday & Saturday. The Other Brothers will play Redwood Saturday. Jones'n will be at the Burton Eagles Club on Saturday, Tuesday at The Roadhouse & Wednesday at Cliffs.. Witch Doctor is at Beale Street in Fenton on Saturday.

When Myspace was operating well, they kept a list of "shows" and gave options to the music "genre" and the bands all posted their gigs. It was simple to relay the info. But now that Myspace is all but kaput... and facebook is so "in the moment" and isn't good at providing a list of Blues gigs. We find ourselfs having to dig deeper in lookin' for where the Blues gigs are. We're getting on the mailing list for those bands that provide one. So, to all you Blues musicians out there...Junior Wells said it.. "You Gotta Help Me, Baby.. I Can't Do It By Myself"!" Don't make us work too hard to find you... Please let us know where you're playing at! We want to bring YOUR Blues to our calendar.
Before we put our pilgrim hats on next week...let's see where we can put our BLUES hats on in Michigan this weekend!
Flint has the chance to see Motor City Josh & The Big 3 at Redwood both Friday & Saturday and at Scooters from 7-10pm on Sunday. For thoses that have stayed away from Redwood because of the over-inflated price of drinks should give them another try. We we're pleased to see all the new drink specials at cut-rate prices. And, we can never say enough about Motor City Josh.. this is big-time good, people. The band is EXCELLENT... and they all carry great Mojo.
Check out MCJ & The Big 3: http://www.motorcityjosh.com/
Greg Ellis is playing Saturday at Beale Street in Fenton from 7-10pm.. You can find both great music and BBQ there!
Rusty Wright is playing tonight (11-18) in Owosso MI at The Wrought Iron Grill and at Callahans with Coco Montoya in Auburn Hills Friday. That will be one HOT show! No doubt.
