There are a few interesting blues and blueslike events happening over the weekend. And a couple of them are actually free.
It begins Friday night with one of the county's free gigs at the South Park Amphitheater, with Jr. Walker's All Star Band. There are only two of the original members left -- Autrey DeWalt (Jr. Walker died in 1995.They were a soul band, not exactly blues, but yet, where would they have been without the blues? They'll be at South Park, if you're in the mood.
Saturday night begins a two-part appearance by Mick Taylor, one-time Rolling Stone who now seems to specialize in blues-rock. He'll be putting in an appearance with the local band, Blues Junkies, at the Hard Rock Cafe in Station Square Saturday night, then with the Mick Taylor Band, will offer up another free county concert at Hartwood Acres on Sunday night.
Also on Saturday night, Jakes Blues Band, out of Erie, shows up at Moondog's in Blawnox.
And most of the usual local blues bands are in most of the usual places around town. Enjoy.
