Blues Calendar: Feb 3 – 9

Blues Calendar - Feb 3This week there is more blues happening at Kona Kai and at House of Blues, which isn’t on the schedule since they don’t offer the drink discount.  There is the weekly BLUSD jam (Blues Lovers United of San Diego – go to www.blusd.org to support our local blues society!) on Wednesday nights from 7-11pm and this week Lafayette and his blues band will also be on the HOB free stage on Friday night starting at 7pm.

Jams are also happening Monday night at the SpeakEasy, Tuesday at Patrick’s and Thursday at Spaguetteria in Little Italy.  And up at Croce’s Park West in Banker’s Hill, Fuzzy Rankins Blues Band will be playing Friday night starting at 8pm.

Annette DaBomb’s Jazzy Blues at Speakeasy

I have missed hearing Annette’s incredible voice and the way she sings the blues, mixing it in with her jazz roots when she plays with her jazz band at the Gaslamp Speakeasy every Thursday night.  She is fun, personable and wonderful to listen to.  I will definitely be back more often!

Here she is singing that great cover song, Got My Mojo Workin’, with band members Doc Holiday on keys, Tony Peterson on drums and Doug Brunelle on bass guitar.

Here’s another clip of them doing the cover song Hard to Handle.

If you haven’t heard Annette’s group in person, you are missing a special evening and a real treat.  They also play at Magnolia Tap & Kitchen about once a month.  Check my calendar to see when they will play there next.
