One of the area's best traditional blues bands playing "Blues for Grown-Ups"! Bret's opened for B.B. King, Koko Taylor & Junior Wells!
What they're saying ...
"Back in 1967, Bret Littlehales (AKA Big Boy Little) was
THE harmonica man! He not only played like a demon, but knew more about blues music than anybody else. He was
a major influence on shaping the Washington blues scene back then & he's still playing the real 100%, low down & dirty
blues to this day." - Bobby Radcliff
"These guys play blues for grown-ups." - Bill Kirchen
"Bret and I were rivals in 1967 for top dog
local harp guys. I did Bret the favor of leaving town and he and Bobby Radcliff formed the Northside Blues Band, the prototype
DC whiteboy blues band. I returned to DC in 1972 and started the Nighthawks. Now Bret's back. I guess I better tighten
up." - Mark Wenner of The Nighthawks
"This guy's a real blues player." - Huey Lewis of The News

stunning young guitarist-singer" - Washington Post

Other Local Open Blues
Jams . . .
Blues
Jam
Format: the host band usually plays first - for about an hour and then the
jammers get up; sometimes host band closes out the night. Great way to hear
local blues talent and you never know who's going to show up: sometimes
out-of-towners and touring musicians. Of course it's also a great way to
connect with other blues-lovers and musicians, and the audience is
appreciative! Support your local blues jam and
establishments that host the jams too; come hungry & thirsty to ensure
the jams keep going!
Selected
Sundays, 5-9 pm, Blues Jam at
Old Bowie Town Grille, free. (11/09: call to confirm
new time)Open Blues Jam hosted by Paul Mastradone and The
Paulverizers which features Paul Mastradone (vocals & guitar), Steve Carey (bass) and Chip Clemmer (drums)! Next
jam: usually the last 2 Sundays of the month, but call to confirm. Usually a
surprise guest sits in!
