There is a lot of blues happening in the greater downtown area this week, and there is a bit more than usual out on Shelter Island (Kona Kai and Humphrey’s Backstage) and at Tio Leo’s off of Morena Blvd.

Morry Sochat & the Special 20s is a Chicago blues & swing band out on tour, and they are coming to San Diego on Friday to play at the Gaslamp SpeakEasy.  They should be a lot of fun, especially if you are a swing dancer. Unfortunately I’ll miss them.

I head out of town Friday for 10 days, but I hope to catch many of these bands and get up some more video before I go.  If you get any good video of these bands in the next couple weeks, please email me with the YouTube link and I’ll get it up on the site.
