Here's a couple of options
I usually go to
Poor House Bistro (Nice Pub Like Environment)
http://www.poorhousebistro.com/index.html
or
JJ Blues (A Hole in the Wall Bar with a great blues history)
http://www.jjsblues.net/main.html
They're both in San Jose which is about 40 minutes from SF

Spencer Jarrett is performing at Lou's Pier 47 on Thursday from 4pm until 8pm. I do not know who will be performing with him, but he is a fine harp player and has been performing with former members of the John Nemeth band.
Aki Kumar and Tip of the Top is performing on Friday from 4pm until 8pm at Lou's Pier 47. Aki is a fine harp player.
Applejack Walroth is at the Saloon on Sunday from 4pm until 8pm.
Saturday night, Alabama Mike is playing at Biscuits & Blues. Scot Brenton is a bad ass harp player with tone for days. Mike is one of the best singers that I've seen in a long time. If you like Blues, you'll really dig Mike.
There are other options, if you leave the city and head south.

A lot of places don't have their June schedules up yet. The Poor House is one such place. Good food. Good music.
Kenny Blue Ray is at the Mojo Lounge on Saturday. He usually has a harp player fronting his band. Frequently, he has Charlie Chavez with him. He is good.

One more thing, on Saturday at a place called Neto's Sausage Company, Aki Kumar and Tip of the Top will be performing with Rusty Zinn from 6:30pm to 10:00pm. If you like old school Blues, there will be a lot of it played there that night.
On Sunday at the Grand Dell Saloon in Campbell, there will be a harp contest featuring six local players. I am one of the six and I'll be getting my head cut. Again.
