Our Bluesday Tuesdays are a crowd pleaser.   It’s your chance to meet some of Austin’s finests artists up close and personal, in a song swap and fun fest hosted by harmonica great Jimi Lee, with a different Guest each week.

To kick off the music season, Jimi’s invited lots of our most favorite guests to showcase a song or two, as a preview of what’s coming up this season.

The line up includes:

Miss Phoebe Hunt on vocals and fiddle.   You can hear a preview here.

DALE SPALDING will also be there.   Unless you’re up on late on Monday nights and hanging out at TC’s Lounge, you don’t get the chance to hear Dale in Austin very often because he’s usually on the road.    He’s got the voice and the harmonica chops to be the front man of Canned Heat as well as his own Little Elmore Reed Blues Band.

STEVE CARTER, another Austin favorite, will be stopping by.  Steve just wrapped up a Bob Wills / Willie Nelson / Will Taylory and Strings Attached project called House of Wills and is looking forward to the Badfinger tribute show he’s put together for April at Momo’s.

ULRICH ELLISON, 3-time winner of Downbeat’s guitar awards, is an Austrian transplant who’s fallen in love with Austin, and the feeling is mutual.   Tasty guitar, Nordic good looks, and smooth vocals.  What’s not to like?

STEVE BERNSTEIN will bring his wailin’ sax, WHITEY CONWELL will rock the blues for you, and with MARK EPSTEIN on bass and BRANNON LANE on skins, we’ve got ourselves a supernaturally gifted band!
