Busy with gigs lately

Georgia Sam has been doing a lot of gigs lately. We now have a residency at the Shuffle Bar, a relatively new place in a nearby neighborhood which used to contain our old favorite bar, Tang Hui. We are still waiting for Tang Hui to re-open after their unfortunate closing last year. In the meantime, Shuffle Bar will do. We have been helped out very much the last two weeks by friends of ours, mostly Sam Hooper (pictured here) of the Sam Hooper Band out of Boston. Sam and his band just finished up a five-month stay at the House of Blues and Jazz, during which time we all became friends, especially during Sunday night open jams. We got our gig at the Shuffle just as his was finishing, and so we asked him to come down, and he was happy to do so. Sam can really play the blues and it was truly an honor to share the stage with him on two fantastic nights.
