Tampa's got the Blues

Our good Dem buddy James gave us a call this afternoon to let us know about a bunch of blues acts that were playing this evening at Skipper's Smokehouse. James is on the board of the Suncoast Blues Society, so he's got the full skinny on the local blues scene. Man, there is some awesome blues talent in Tampa! And for only $5 admission each, what a deal! Great music, old Florida atmosphere, grilled fish, beans/rice, cold beer. Yeah, baby! I've been dealing with a bit of a sinus infection, and this was just the ticket to kick back and relax with toe-tapping blues. We'd never been to Skipper's in the almost 3 years we've been here -- that's a bit of sacrilege, really, since this is THE place to catch the local music scene. Wednesday's are Reggae nights with $2 Red Stripe, so we may have to head back in a few days :)
