This week

This week we have Robert Paige & the Holy City Sinners, an extremely tight blues band featuring guitar and sax at Hometeam BBQ on Sullivan's Island on Saturday May 15. Cotton Blue plays at Aroma's, 50 Market St. starting at 7:30 on Friday and 7:00 on Saturday. Smoky Weiner, Steve and Ron Padgett and Capt. Kirk have a little blues jam on Bowens Island every Friday night at 6pm till about 10pm. Bring your instruments to that if you can! On Thursday the 13th Shrimp City Slim takes the boat out for a cruise with blues and BBQ from Hometeam will be served. Call Shrimp at 762-9125 or just be there by 6 as the boat leaves at 6:30 and returns at 9. On Wednesday May 19th at the Pour House on James Island there will be a night of blues with the Juke Joint Johnny and Drew Baldwin Duo, Cedric Burnside of the North Mississippi All Stars (and son of R.L. Burnside) and Lightnin' Malcolm backed up by Daryl Hance of MOFRO. Of course do not forget the new Blues Jam at Hometeam West Ashley every Wednesday and if last week is any indication, its really got some new life in it with some different folks we haven't seen lately coming out to check it out! Last but not at all least we have Wyatt Garey's birthday jam at Iacofano's tonight Wednesday the 12th at 6 pm until John can shove them out and lock the door. (At least that's what he does when I show up!) Ronnie Johnson has a songwriter's night on Tuesday the 18th so if you want to try out a new song in a place that has a nice stage and a real good sound system you should check out the Shrimp Shack on Ben Sawyer Blvd in Mt.P. That's all the news I can think of.....Smoky Weiner
