Blues Lovers United of San Diego (BLUSD) party

If you missed the BLUSD party at the House of Blues this past Sunday, here is a video taken of the Bayou Brothers with Lance Dieckmann playing the harmonica.  The Bayou Brothers brings to San Diego their Cajun, Zydeco, blues sound from Louisianna, compete with rubboards!

We also got to hear the 44s with James Harman, Ben Powell and one of our local blues youth groups.

HOB Jam – Lafayette & Fuzzy Rankins Wrap it Up

The weekly blues jam at House of Blues went an extra hour last night and ended a great evening with Lafayette Falkquay (who is part of the weekly house jam band) and Fuzzy Rankins, who showed up to play.  They teamed up and had some fun wrapping up the evening!  Also on stage was Michael Minor on drums, Packy B on rhythm guitar and David Falkquay on bass.

I also want to mention the awesome host MC of the JammingOut BLUSD jam each week: Rosalea Schiavone, who organizes who goes up on stage and ensures everyone has a good time!
