From Smuin Ballet to drumming great Terri Lyne Carrington to flutist extraordinaire Claire Chase, here are some great shows to catch.
No one is going to mistake San Francisco for Chicago, St. Louis or Clarksdale, Mississippi, but the Bay Area has a proud and legitimate blues scene and annually puts on a show that a blues fan from anywhere in the world would fall in love with.which East Bay musician Mark Hummel – a titan of the harp himself – has been serving up for three decades now.
After organizing a gathering of harpists at the San Francisco Blues Festival in the 1980s, Hummel hosted the inaugural Harmonica Blowout at Berkeley’s Ashkenaz club in 1991. Reportedly, neither Hummel nor anyone else expected it to catch on the way it did. Thirty-two years later, the event is a beloved Bay Area tradition that has hosted some of the best blues harmonica players the world has ever known. This year’s lineup is pretty spectacular in its own right: Sugar Ray Norcia, Magic Dick , John Németh, and the South Bay’s “Bollywood Blues” musician Aki Kumar.
