Well folks this is it; the last month of 2016. Alongside mourning all the great musicians we have lost this year, let’s spend this month celebrating those who are still with us.
Kicking things off on the 3rd at P. Wexford’s is Rob Hill Band. Rob’s signature Jazzy Blue sound is just the perfect accompaniment to the great atmosphere always on tap at one of the area’s best pubs.
The following weekend sarting on the 9th we have funk and soul at Turlocks Vintage Lounge with the B-4 Dawn Band. Then on Saturday the 10th up at Black Oak is a favorite Shane Dwight and the next day, you can catch me with Ray Vazira at Deva Cafe for some breakfast tunes.
Friday the 16th you have a whole bunch to choose from, Rob Hill will be back at P. Wexfords. The Portal is hosting a Blues night featuring Slingshot, Jeramy Norris and the Dangerous Mood along with yours truly Big Earl and the Cryin’ Shame.
Finishing things out on the 30th you can choose from Jeramy Norris in Sonora at the Bourbon Barrel and Big Earl and the Cryin’ Shame will be up in Sacramento at the Torch Club.
One final note, don’t forget that every Thursday in Stockton at Garlic Brothers Jeramy Norris and the Dangerous Mood Host a Blues Jam open to all.
I hope to see you out at a show.
