Jazz and Blues for Memorial Day Weekend
It is Memorial Day Weekend, folks. Isn’t that supposed to be the official start of the summer. A nice three day weekend and you are supposed to get the barbecue grill out and have a party. I won’t be having a party, but I will enjoy the time off.
The jazz and blues shows listed below come courtesy of WDCB and their events calendar section. Enjoy!
