International Blues Music Day 03/08/24

SAT 3rd AUG. INTERNATIONAL BLUES MUSIC DAY.
Tasman Bay Blues Club (that’s us), The Barn, The Honest Lawyer Country Pub, Monaco, Nelson. 6-30pm. Guests $15, members $10
An evening of celebration of The Blues, from Robert Johnson all the way to Stevie Ray. Full sets from Dem Blues Boys, Rich & The Poor Boys and The Original Barnstormers Band. Russ Mattsen’s fine outfit will explore the acoustic roots of the early Delta sounds, Rich’s team will crack open the Chicago and Brit Blues beats and The Barnstormers, led by Ivan Outram, will be revisiting the setlist drawn up for the club’s inaugural Jam Night. Something for everyone. Except Siberian nose-flute enthusiasts, probably.
