BluesView: February is looking Great

BluesView: February is looking great
By Earl Matthews

Hello everyone. I hope you are all having a great year so far. January was a little bleak but February is looking great for blues so let’s talk about the shows coming this month.

On the 2nd and in fact, every Saturday in February you can catch Tony and the Tuff Times at Ridgeways in Modesto. You can also head out to the Waterwheel in Sonora to see me with the Poorhouse Millionaires perform on the 2nd. On Sunday the 3rd, I will be at Deva Cafe with my main man Ray Vazira for breakfast and blues.

On February 9th don’t miss one of the best shows of the year, the annual Johnny Cash Birthday Bash at the Prospect Theater. It’s always one of the best parties of the year. If Zydeco is your bag don’t miss the Blues Box Bayou Band Mardi Gras show at Black Oak Casino on the 15th.

I’ll be playing with the Poorhouse Millionaires out at the Saloon in Knights Ferry on the 22nd and on the 23rd in LaGrange at Louie’s Place. Also on the 23rd, you can catch Jeramy Norris and the Dangerous Mood in Lodi at Five Windows Beer Company.

Jams are happening every Thursday at The Barkin Dog Grill and at Garlic Brothers in Stockton. I’ll be back at the Fired Up Grill in Ceres for our Monthly Jam on the 27th as well.

Have a great month and I hope to see you out at a show.
