mnaiman Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Any venues around that play Blues style music ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonhill Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Oh how I wish. When Jay Shuffle was alive and played with Ron Baker and friends, it was some great blues. Fortunately I have a pretty extensive collection of classic and newly released stuff and an awesome sound system to play it on. But if you find someone really playing the blues, please let me know!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegarn Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I would check with the management at Adelita's. They have different artists performing, but I know they have some great blues artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringohombre Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Where is the Iron Horse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned small Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 In Riberas across from Maskaras Clinic and beside the Orma Autoparts store. On the weekends it's full of bikers too because it's biker themed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoville Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 My name is Blue Jay Slim. I've been playing the blues at Adelitas and at the Chili Cookoffs for the past several years. I'll be coming down in January and hopefully Jason will allow me to play at Adelitas again. I used to play with Jay Shuffle, Ron Baker, and Bill Hawk when we started what became the Jamm Band at Score's in West Ajijic. I hope you guys will come my gigs.

ComputerGuy Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Would that be our own Jimmy Barto on trumpet in a couple of those videos? Looks like they were shot at the Real de Chapala. Danced to the band at Adelita's last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they were shot at the Real de Chapala. Danced to the band at Adelita's last year. Yes that is Jimmy Barto. That was when he moved back to Pennsylvania just before he moved back to Ajijic. Those videos took place in Pennsylvania at a competition which we won and were sent to Memphis to compete in The International Blues Challenge with over 200 blues bands from all over the world. Unfortunately Jimmy couldn't accompany us to Memphis as he had moved back to Ajijic. If you google "blue jay slim" you may find some some videos on Facebook that I made with Jay Shuffle, Ron Baker, Richard Underhill, Sergio, Chelo, Mike & The Suspects, Blue Velvet and many more.

ga356 Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Speaking of Blue Velvet, they often play blues & jazz at Ocampo 71, usually on Wednesday evenings. Juan Castaño, their guitarist, is an instrumentalist par excellance & is considered by every guitar player I now around here as the very best around, a borderline genius with a guitar. Not to take anything away from Blue Jay Slim, whom I've met and whose music I enjoy very much, but I suspect he would agree re Juan. I should add that the other Blue Velvet musicians know their way around their instruments quite well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
