Come see Swami play with the "Subprime Blues Band"




Following up on the jazz workshop I did last winter, I joined the Blue Bear blues workshop this semester, and it's been a lot of fun. We're called the "Subprime Blues Band," and it's been a privilege playing with such a talented group of guys, led by our excellent teacher, Johnny Nitro. I've been into the blues for a long time, and enjoyed learning how to play it over several years now, so playing with a great band is really fun!

As our grand finale, we have two gigs in December, and I'd love to see you all at either or both! First, we're playing at the Blue Bear showcase event at the Bottom Of the Hill on Monday, December 15, at 8:30. And then we're opening for Johnny Nitro at San Francisco's oldest bar, The Saloon on Grant Street in North Beach, on Sunday, Dec 21 at 9:30 PM. Please note that the Bottom of the Hill is an all-ages show, but the Saloon is for those over 21 only :).

It should be a rockin' set, with a great combination of some down-home Delta Blues, New Orleans funk, and classic blues-rock tunes! I'm even singing some of the songs! :)

Hope to see you there!
