Don't know if anybody is interested but I'm planning on going to see Eric Johnson at Mississippi Nights on Tuesday June 14th. I'm also hitting Hagar at Riverport on May 14th.
I saw a couple of others that might be interesting
.....at the Orpheum
Sunday, July 10 - Lyle Lovette
Friday, Sept. 9 - Buddy Guy
..... Ameristar (the crack factory) Bottleneck Blues Bar
June 23rd - Little Feat
Deadfish, I know Blues on the Mississippi is coming up. I haven't seen any listings yet though.
Has anybody else seen any concerts that look interesting? We still need to set a date for Chuck Berry. Speaking of Chuck, this is really late notice, Friday nigh at the Pagaent Joe Edwards is hosting a benefit concert for Johnnie Johnsons widow, Frances. Anybody thats anybody in the St Louis Blues scene is going to be there including Chuck Berry and Henry Townsand. Heres the scoop from the Pagaent;
