John Nemeth Tonight at Famous Dave’s BBQ
Aug 7th
Blind Pig Records recording artist John Nemeth will be bringing his unique vocals and great hamonica playing to Famous Dave’s BBQ tonight before heading up to Duluth for the Bayfront Blues Festival. This is sure to be one of the best blues shows of the year (and a personal favorite of mine).
John will be featuring a great blues piano player and guitar player Bob Welsh which will be a treat. This dude is bad ass on both instruments. Some of these videos feature Kid Andersen who will be playing with Rick Estrin on Friday night at Famous Dave’s and this weekend at the Bayfront Blues Festival. As a semi-local connection, Kid Andersen played on and produced RJ Mischo’s latest CD “King of a Mighty Good Time”.
Samuel James at Famous Dave’s Tonight
Aug 6th
Samuel James will be playing Famous Dave’s BBQ tonight in Minneapolis. If my wife would give me three “Kitchen Passes” to go out for a third night (John Nemeth tomorrow, Rick Estrin Friday night) I would most certainly be there to see Samuel James tonight.
