For 34 years, you have been enjoying some of the best blues harp artists (and their bands) the world has to offer.

On our 35th anniversary extravaganza, we delve into some early West Coast Blues for a special tribute to the legendary Hollywood Fats Band!

Featuring original band members Al Blake and Fred Kaplan, we have added these sterling players as well: Kid Ramos, Rena Beavers, Mike Turturro and more.

Returning for another in a long series of Blues Harp Battles is the iconic harpmeister Rod Piazza, who will be performing with Carl Sonny Leyland, Nathan James and Troy Sandow, among others.

And there is more:

The Mighty Mojo Prophets have a long SoCal history of making the best in west coast blues, so it is fitting that the band, with founding members Tommy Eliff and Mitch Dow, be featured on this 35th anniversary show.

The rarely seen Blue Shadows were built from the Blasters' rhythm section of Bill Bateman and Johnny Bazz, with Javier Matos supplying guitar and vocals on their soulful, raw and in-your-face original music.

Opening the amazing anniversary show are Billy Watson and Robin Henkel, 2 award-winning artists who will collaborate starting at 7 pm.

The doors at Gaslamp will open at 6 pm, so you can find your seat and order a fine dinner as you prepare to rock the night away.

Free parking, 18+, fine dining. This is a seated show

 Petunia at JAX

With his swingin' synchopation that's reminiscent of the music from nearly 100 years ago, Petunia specializes in a wide variety of musical genres including Hot Jazz, Swing and Vintage R&B.

Petunia and his Vipers thrive on the challenge of adding Latin rhythms to a country blues tune, or gypsy flavoring to a rockabilly standard.

They play original music combining elements of classic 1920s jazz through 70s country, country blues, western swing, alt country rock, Mexicana, French cabaret, Romanian, ragtime, jazz, punk and folk music. And they do a few classic covers as well!

Come enjoy the camaraderie of music lovers like yourself.

Free parking, full menu, all ages and a big dance floor.
