Thursday
Wow, I've posted three days in a row . . . just don't get used to it.

As usual, Thursday is always a great night for local music . . .

Jackstraw plays a free show at the Kennedy School . . . 7 pm

It's always B-3 night on Thursdays at Jimmy Mak's with Mel Brown's B-3 Organ Band . . . jazzy and soulful with the unmistakable sound of the Hammond . . . 8 pm, $5

A lot of folks are happy that Lloyd Jones now has a home for his long standing Thursday night gig at the Cider Mill on SW Capitol Hwy . . . 8 pm, free

Duff's Garage hosts the Kerin and Kolvane CD release show. This is a very stripped down sound from the blues rock of Kolvane . . . Steve Kerin and Kolvane keep it to piano, guitar and vocals and travel the backroads of the blues for some tasty tunes. . . . 9 pm, $??

Jam with the Garcia Birthday Band's monthly gig at the White Eagle. Tie dyed boogie . . . 9:30 pm, free

It's a rockin' show at the free monthly In Music We Trust series at the Doug Fir with The Hugs, Ravishers, and New York Rifles.
