The Blue Collar Blues Band
at
Lou's Pier 47, San Francisco, California

WOW!

What a night!
The Blue Collar Blues Band was

    HOT HOT HOT!   

Steve Gornall ripped it up on guitar, Don Bassey and Paul Revelli "drove" the sound, and Mike Emerson boogied 'em blind on keys.

The SonomaTunes.com Road Trip Gang was there.  Steve's wife, Eve, and her friend Sue were there.  Other friends of the band were there.  Total strangers were there.  All of them had a good time and all of them enjoyed the blues, blue collar style.

There was even a party of about 15-20 guys from Holland seated downstairs at Lou's curbside tables who were listening to the sounds of the band coming through the open windows above.  They got their initiation to Blue Collar Blues, American style.

Their debut event at one of the "Best Blues Clubs in San Francisco" was memorable and will surely result in more gigs to come.  Thanks, folks, for coming out and supporting the band and for being so energetic and alive.

Be at Lou's Pier 47 again on Wednesday, May 16, 2001, for another

Blue Collar Blues Experience.

(The Press Release):

On el firsto de Mayo, (read: May 1, 2001) the Blue Collar Blues Band will be performing their debut gig at that world famous venue upstairs known as Lou's.

The same four musicians will be on hand at Lou's on May 1st.

It's a Tuesday, which we all know is a "School Night," but the word is that the SonomaTunes.com Road Trip Gang will be there.  Those folks only go on Road Trips to HOT Gigs.  That should tell ya everything you need to know.
