The Madison Blues Society is having it’s seventh annual picnic this Saturday, June 20th at Warner Park. This is a free all day event with a full line up of blues artists from 12 to 9 pm. Headlining the event at 7:30 are the Groove Hogs, a top notch 9 piece band with horns.
I’ve attended this event and highly recommend it. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and kick back to some great music. Also bring a cooler of food and drink, or support the vendors on site. Donations are appreciated and a hat may be passed round.
For the full lineup and much more information go to the Madison Blues Society Website.

Guitarist A.J. Love has done a good deed and organized another blues jam, an after work event from 5:30 to 8 pm every Tuesday at the Frequency. This will be great for those of us that work downtown. It’s also nice because it doesn’t compete with the other Tuesday night blues jams.
Here’s the scoop from A.J.:

For some real funky improvisation don’t miss Clyde Stubblefield, a Madison icon, this Thursday from 5-7 in the Overture Hall Lobby. Clyde and his 10 piece band kick off the first concert in this season’s Overture after Work series. The rest of the lineup looks killer too.
I’ve been saying for way too long I have to go to one of his shows, but 10pm on a Monday night is tough. This will work perfectly. I’ll meet my wife down there and go to eat after. If you have time to eat before 5, you can catch this show and follow it with the Madison Music Collective concert at Capitol Lakes at 7:30.
