From my neighbor, who works at the Highway 99 Blues Club (under the viaduct along the Seattle Waterfront):
Sunday October 2nd The Crossroads Band, Jeff and the Jet City Flyers, Becki Sue and her Big Rockin' Daddies,The Wild Rhodendron's and special guest Mike Lynch, The Harmonica Playboy will rock, boogy and funkify The Highway 99 Blues Club from 3?to 9pm in a benefit to help New Orleans musicians in exile. Many of our brothers and sisters?in the Motherland have lost everything. 100% of the $10.00 suggested donation will go The Tipitinas Foundation
www.tipitinasfoundation.org and The Highway 99 club will donate food sales and the service staff will donate their time for the cause. The Highway 99 Blues Club is located at 1414 Alaskan Way Seattle 206-382-2171. Don't miss this great one time event!
Sorry to say, not much in the way of acoustic blues at this event, but it will feature a rare appearance of the Wild Rhododendrons, a band that tries to capture the energy and funk of the most famous of the New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian bands, The Wild Magnolias.
Please attend if you can.
Lindy
