Jason Ricci

Since, by chance, both Aki and I ended up not doing the things we expected to be doing, we ended up heading over with Rachel to JJ's Blues Bar to see Jason Ricci. This guy plays unnatural sounding harmonica! He's really phenomenal! We had split after the first set, alas. It made me very sad to hear that after traveling from Nashville, the club did not want to pay Jason & company. It was also disheartening to hear that he had to play 300 days a year to make a living. Check his calendar! I guess that's the whole paying your dues thing. Here's a sample of him playing. The rest of the band was also great, too! There's more stuff on his site.
