Blues explosion hits this weekend

It’s a busy weekend approaching for the Honolulu Blues Co-Op, with several shows around Oahu beginning Thursday, November 11 when the Slim Jr. duo of Larry Spalding and Rick Smith perform at Morning Brew Coffee Bistro in Kailua at 7:00 p.m.

On Saturday, November 13, a special “down-plugged” performance of the entire six-piece Blues Co-Op ensemble will take place at Ward’s Rafters—the cozy, residential venue that has quietly become a favorite among discerning music lovers in Honolulu. The Co-Op features the searing fiddle work of Lisa Gomes.

Legendary Honolulu blues outfit Bluzilla performs Sunday, November 14 at Anna O’Brien’s beginning at 5:00 p.m. There will be no cover charge for the concert, which is also open to all ages.

Honolulu blues fans have lots of options to see live blues over the weekend, with each venue unique in its commitment to presenting quality, local blues music.
