Jam For Cans
11/14 @ The Tractor, Ballard
by Phil Chesnut
The mother of all Seattle blues jams is upon us again. Sax man/producer
Raven Humphres has again put together an amazing array of musical talent
to entertain area blues fans for the purpose of assisting Northwest
Harvest. This invitational jam boasts a lineup that reads like a who's
who of Seattle's top blues musicians. Some of the names who are donating
their time and talent are Duffy Bishop, Nick Vigarino, Paul Green, Eric
"Two Scoops" Moore, Henry Cooper, Patti Allen, Annieville
& Raven, Fat James, Mark Riley, Kathi McDonald, Mark Whitman, David
Brewer, and many more. Jam for Cans also features special guests Gaye
Adegbalola from Alligator Records' Saffire-Uppity Blues Woman and harmonica
mogul Lee Oskar.
Amazingly, Washington ranks 2nd nationally in hunger. Northwest Harvest
collects and distributes food to approximately 300 hunger programs in
Washington. For the mere cover of 5 cans of food & $5, or $10, fans
can enjoy a night full of great blues and, at the same time, help to
eliminate hunger in our state. There will also be a raffle for "all
kinds of cool stuff." This great night of blues for a very worthy
cause is at the Tractor Tavern in old Ballard on Thursday, Nov. 14.
The doors open at 6pm with music beginning at 6:30. For more info go
