This week we have another good line up of blues jams and bands around town.
In addition… at the House of Blues, Lafayette Blues Band will be playing Thursday night 7-11 and the weekly Wednesday night jam is also happening there from 7-11. Hope to see you there!
Every Wednesday night on the free stage at House of Blues is a good blues jam, hosted by JammingOut.net and BLUSD. Last night ended with members of the house band back up on stage doing the cover song Woke Up This Morning (Kevin Cooper on bass guitar, Lafayette Falkquay on lead guitar and Packy B on rhythm guitar) along with John Rokas on drums, who was visiting from Cleveland, OH.
Every Tuesday night you can catch Lafayette Falkquay and his blues band playing at the Gaslamp SpeakEasy. Lafayette is one of those southern bluesman you don’t get to hear often enough, so its always a treat for me to listen to him perform. Here is a video from last night with Lafayette singing Going to Louisiana, supported by Chris Terrell on drums and Ronnie Baumslater on bass.
Lafayette Falkquay was jammin last night at the SpeakEasy with his bass player, Ronnie Baumslater, and Carleton Overstreet on drums. He had a good crowd until he wrapped it up at 1am.
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!
Lafayette was playing his usual Tuesday night gig at the SpeakEasy with Ronnie Baumslater on bass and Chris Terrell on drums. I’m afraid its pretty dark to really see this video (and that’s what makes the SpeakEasy such a great blues joint), but you can hear them and get a taste of Lafayette’s sound.
Last night legendary Lafayette Falkquay (lead guitar/vocals) was playing with Doc Holiday (keyboard), Michael Minor (drums) and Kevin Cooper (bass). John Brooks showed up and joined them on sax.
