Blues On First

While in Salt Lake City this past weekend I went to a club called Zanzibar to see a blues band named "Blues On First". The band is a group of talented musicians led by a fantastic guitarist named Paul Blandford. Paul plays a mean blues guitar which will have you sitting on the edge of your seat trying to see his fingers fly. Nick Greco is the lead singer who also plays a sultry blues harp. Nick makes the harp sing the blue as well.

The band was fantastic as were the people I met there. Thanks go out to Jason for allowing me to join his family at their table. Always great to see a mom and her sons out having a good time! Ya'll kick ass!

As for Zanzibar, the staff were great, but this is not really a musical venue. They have an adequate stage with poor stage lighting and no sound system at all. I would love to see Blues On First at a place like The Double Door Inn here in Charlotte. Perhaps some day?

It was a great show by a very good blues band though..

Here's a link to the few photo's I did take..
