I'm on a mailing list for the Robert Ross Band. They play down there all the time. I saw them in Piermont. They had this crazy harp player playing with them that night. What was his name. Adam G somethin'! I guess he usually plays down in Mississippi.

That might be a start. You could cross reference the venues they play too. Unfortunately the band never seems to make it up the river very far so that's been the only time I've got a chance to see them. I keep reading their mailings though, hoping they might get farther north. It looks like you'll be too late for James Cotton. He's got a gig at BB King's May 6th, and a show in Hudson (pretty far from NYC up the river on the 7th) and in Connecticut and Upstate New York in mid August. I don't know much about what's going on in the City though. I get some Facebook events from people down there and I'll pass them on (if they don't magically appear here beforehand.

On July 30, JP Allen and I are doing a half-day harp clinic and performing that evening, all at a Brooklyn club called Jalopy. The event is called "HARMONICA MADNESS"

BB KIngs NYC Times Square -Sunday,July 17th 9:00 PM
Rory Block-if you can make this show,do it. She performs great Country Blues. Thats it for BB KIngs for the months of July and August as far as blues.
I will check with Mike Bram-great harp player,and also the drummer for Jason Mraz. His band Mike Bram and the Alternators usually play Lucilles Bar and Grille,a seperate club inside BB KIngs.
