We Got Da Blues!

On Friday night, we drove to Hagerstown for the Western Maryland Blues Festival. The first two acts were pretty much unknowns, but next up was Jimmy Thackery and the headliner was Savoy Brown. Jimmy Thackery is known as a co-founder of the Nighthawks. Since 1987 he plays with his band, The Drivers. All I can say is he was incredible!

The headliners, Savoy Brown, have been around for a long time. Kim Simmonds is the only original member, but regardless, they were quite good. I really didn't know much about them, but I sure did enjoy the evening.

My brother went with us and is quite the musician/historian. He can tell you who played with whom, what bands the originated from, where they went, and who they played with for the rest of their careers! You can tell from this pic that both my brother and husband were having a good time!
