what’s the chance of a reply?
I am searching for daytime weekday or early LIVE real music
Blues preferred
indoors in AUGUST in NYC
suggestions of where to search are welcomed
idea would be a little club like “my” local club in Tallahassee FL
The Bradfordville Blues Club
and if you are ever in town (that being Tallahassee FL) hope you will come out

If you like oldtime acoustic country blues, the Jalopy is your place. http://www.jalopy.biz
It’s actually a lot easier to get to than you might think – take the F train to Carroll St.
Will Scott, who’s probably the best and most eclectic electric blues guitarist in town, is at 68 Jay St Bar (just downhill from the York St. F train stop) at 10 on 8/11. Henry Butler, the New Orleans pianist opens for Steven Bernstein’s jazz orchestra at the Jazz Standard on the 20th through the 28th. 8/22 at midnight the rather creepy, harmonica-driven Stringbean & the Stalkers are at the Ear Inn. The raucous oldtimey Jessy Carolina & the Hot Mess are at Radegast Hall at 9 on 8/23; powerhouse electric player Bobby Radcliff is at Freddy’s on the 30th at 8.
Oldschool Chicago style blues guitarist Irving Louis Lattin has a lot of shows coming up. He’s at Terra Blues at 7 PM on 8/9, 8/12, 8/28 and 8/31 and at Lucille’s on Aug 10 and 24 at 8.
There are 3 fulltime blues bars in NYC. Terra Blues on Bleecker St., who have a revolving cast of local acts; Lucille’s, adjacent to B.B. King’s on 42nd St., which usually has a lot of annoying Clapton wannabes; and Paris Blues Bar on Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. and 121st St. in Harlem which doesn’t have a website but has a lot of surprisingly good, oldschool local acts. Links to the first two are at this blog’s sister site Lucid Culture.
