Bill Magee is a blues man through and through, and he brings his southern blues sound to Patrick’s about once a month. He was there last night doing his thing, which always gets me and a lot of others out on the dance floor.
I just heard that Jimmy Love’s will be closing for renovations this week. I don’t know for how long. As a result, Annette DaBomb won’t be playing there this Wednesday, although I understand Fuzzy Rankins will still be there for the dinner hour (6-8:45) on Friday – although that could change too.
It was a slow Sunday night around the Gaslamp, but Lance Dieckmann and Phil Diiorio with their band had a good groove going at Jimmy Love’s. If you haven’t heard Lance play the harmonica or heard him sing, you are in for a treat with this video. He’s one of the best harp players in the area and has a powerful voice.

Last night Missy Andersen brought her soulful R&B to Jimmy Loves and got people dancing with this Al Green cover song Love and Happiness.
Missy Andersen is back at Jimmy Love’s this Sunday 7-11pm, so if you missed her Friday you can hear her soulful R&B tomorrow night. She won’t be back again until the 28th of this month.
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.
Phil Diiorio (guitar & vocals) and Lance Dieckmann (harp & vocals) are rocking it with Start it Up at Jimmy Love’s last night! With them are Bob Prater on bass and Becky Russell on drums. This is such a great band!
The amazing harp player and vocalist, Lance Dieckmann and his band, playing at Jimmy Loves. He’s got his mojo workin!
