Curtis Salgado Benefit Photos

I attended the benefit for Curtis Salgado at the Mojo Lounge. The benefit featured a star studded cast of characters and raised over $5000 for Mr Salgado.

Appearing on the show were:

Kenny "Blue" Ray and his band,
Daniel Castro,
RJ Mischo,
Bay Area Blues Society Caravan of All Stars,
Steve Freund Blues Band w/ Mark Hummel
Jackie Payne & Steve Edmonson.

There were a multitude of great guests sitting in and a number of fantastic musicians in the audience that didn't have the opportunity to perform due to time constraints.

RJ Mischo's World Famous Blues Jam - 666 Edition

It was a fun time at the Mojo Lounge last night. It was the final evening that John Nemeth was hosting the jam. It was a party-like atmosphere. RJ Mischo will be returning next week. The house band was John Nemeth, Mighty Mike Schermer, Vance Ehlers and Hans Bosse. I got there late. The jam was already underway.

There were a bunch of guests in attendance that made some very good music. Included were: Freddie Roulette, James "Loose" Reed, Chris Brown, Johnny Cat, Don Yonder, Double G, Russell Barber, Harmonica Hutch, Ray Figueroa, Artie Chavez and several new faces that I hadn't seen before...

I had the opportunity to play a couple of tunes with Mike Schermer, Vance Ehlers and E-Rock. Mike is a fantastic guitar player and singer. That was very cool and very enjoyable. As always, it was a really good time.
