Hi John. I'm heading out to Alexandria for Joe Bonamassa at the Birchmere. He may not be old school blues but if you have never seen him I strongly recommend you catch the show. He is playing March 30 and 31.

Favorite Blues Artists and Bands
Joe Bonamassa, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks, Allman Brothers, Johnny A, Tommy Castro, Jim Suhler, The Mighty Orq, The Steepwaterband
