Well, a nice unexpected tune-up for NYC last night....cruise to watering hole #2, the Downtown Tavern, sign says Private Party, open to the public at 9.
So I kill a little time, cruise back around 9:30. First person I see when I walk in the door is Microwave Dave Gallaher. Turns out somebody rented the place for a 50th b'day, and had seen Microwave Dave and the Nukes in Huntsville, hired them.
After the house sweetened the pot a bit, they played for the rest of the night.
Hard, tight roadhouse blues. Lots of flying V slide, 3-piece, a lot like Johnny Winter.
This will be one of the bands at our Blues & BBQ on June 6, along with the Skydogs, Lefty, and Donna Hopkins.
Damn, I love to just walk in on something right out of the blue like that!
