Amber's Wedding Late-Night with Brotha Ric!

Submitted by gabe on Mon, 04/02/2012 - 09:55

After Amber's Wedding, we're going to celebrate in style! We're going to dance the night away. But instead of the normal DJ, we'll have blues from an original.

Brotha Ric is blues to the core. He's the most down-to-earth, friendly musician you can imagine. And he's lived the blue all his life. He remembers playing washboards, washtub bass, spoons and combs cause down in the delta there wasn't any money for pianos and electric guitars. Hell, there wasn't electricity for them either.

Cost: 
$5 donation requested (And feel free to show Brotha Ric some more love!)

Mile High Blues

Is this the Mile High Blues Festival? Doesn’t that happen in August?
The Mile High Blues Exchange is a blues dancing festival, and it happens each year at the end of March. The Mile High Blues Festival is a blues music festival. And it does happen in August. That website is at www.milehighbluesfestival.com. And while we dig what they’re doing, we’re not them. (Please note this if you are a band trying to book yourself into the Festival.)

What’s the difference?

Brotha Rick (http://alabamabluesman.com/) and Jimmy Henderson (http://www.myspace.com/jimmyhendersonlive) will be playing at the Monkey. I'm not absolutely sure how dancible it'll be, but we've liked Brotha Rick in the past, so if you're feeling left out of Enter the Blues, you may want to drop a 5 and see the show.
