Chasin' The Blues in Michigan Thanksgiving 2010

 Welcome fellow Blues-Lovers and Happy Thanksgiving! With the high-quality Blues we have here in Michigan, we have much to be grateful for. There is no better way to show our gratitude to the great Blues musicians then to get out and support live music. And, with a long weekend for so many people the time to do it is now. Time to get your mojo workin'!

Callahans continue to bring national Blues to Michigan in a big way. Smokin Joe Kubic from Texas and Bnois King will be there Friday, December 4. If you haven't seen them before you are in for a real treat! Check them out at : http://www.smokinjoekubek.com/.  Flints own Lester Hambone Brown will open. This will prove to be a night of great Blues. We have discount tickets available. If interested please call 810-266-5232 for details.

 In Flint, The Greg Nagy Band is playing tonight, Wednesday,11/24 at Blackstones downtown. Jim Alfredson is joining him...this should be a great show. Greg has been working on a new CD that should be a real treat.

The Blue Hawians are playing at The Redwood both Friday & Saturday this week.
