Saturday the 3rd we have David Booker's Blues band, as usual David is bringing us something new with a line-up that features two keyboardists. Mike Big Kat Kaylor a great piano player from Nashville joins in and brings his great songs and boogie woogie style to the mix.

Saturday the 10th Delores Scott returns from Chicago with Rex Peoples & X-Factr backing her up. The Lady looks like Diana Ross, sings like Aretha and traveled with KoKo Taylor for many years, she is incredible and a joy to hear.

We started an acoustic/electric blues jam last month sponsored by the Colorado Blues Society that will be the second Monday of every month. All are welcome to join in and is last month is any indication this is going to be a great night for some laid back-blues and general good music.

The next week is Mardi- Gras week and we have got some great Nawlins style music coming your way starting on Friday the 16th with Jockamo a big band that does lots of great New Orleans stuff and more featuring Skye Downing ( ex Miss Colorado) fronting the band. She is as easy to look at, as the band is to listen to. Check them out on sonic bids.
Saturday the 17th we feature Bluekrewe half of them are from Louisiana and they play lots of up-tempo funk from the Meters and Neville Brothers. Be ready to party with this group, and then on Fat Tuesday the 20th we will have a Cajun party with Amy & the Continentals. Wear your costumes and masks and drink a few hurricanes. Amy & drummer Willie Panker are from the crescent city and know how to party. So let the good time roll.
