Now that George Street is closed you may be missing the Tuesday night Blues jams. Every Monday at Fields Cafe, the Farish Street Blues Band with Casey Phillips is performing and jammers are welcome. It's not quite the same thing as the old George Street Blues Jam, but it's still a lot of fun. Great band, --Willie James Hatten (bass with Lattimore, Dorothy Moore, Bobby Rush, Little Milton, and many others), Ricky Lewis (drums with Dorothy Moore, Carl Sims, The Juvenators, "Fingers" Taylor, and many others), and Mark Whittington (guitar with the Houserockers). Theyve been doing this for the past few weeks and regular guests have included vocalist J.T. Watkins and harmonica player Scott Albert Johnson. Every Monday from 8-12; go out and see'em some time. Also, Casey Phillip's and Mark Whittington (The Kool Filter Kings) started hosting an acoustic jam (not blues) at Martin's every Thursday. Basically it's an open mike. They host the event and play along with whoever wants or needs them to. The time for this is 9-1.
