Hey guys,
It looks like this will be more good music this weekend at a variety of venues around downtown. The biggest show for the week will be Thursday’s show at the Lucas, Blues Trinity: A Tribute To The Three Kings. It appears similar to the format of last year’s excellent The Band Tribute Show at the Lucas, with many local artists rotating through various songs. This show promises to be an exciting, unique evening of electric blues. By the way, the 3 Kings are BB, Freddie, and Albert. If you didn’t know that, you probably need to go to the show.
Friday has several good choices for music, but I would recommend trying to make it for at least a bit of People’s Blues Of Richmond at the Social Club, I don’t think you will be sorry. Saturday has several good choices also. I am most looking forward to seeing Eric Sommer at the Sentient Bean (my runner-up for best show of the week). If you haven’t seen him before, do yourself a favor and catch some of his hard-edge blues and excellent guitar playing. If you have never seen a show at the Bean, they have excellent acoustics. And they can now sell beer. As always, I hope to see some of you around downtown this weekend. And if you like the music, remember to drop a couple of bucks in the bucket, I know the musicians really appreciate it.
