Mystery Band at Bill's Blues in Evanston IL, Saturday February 3

The Mystery Band has been hired for a last-minute show at its home club Bill's Blues Bar in Evanston (1024 Davis Street, 847-424-9800, www.billsbluesbar.com) on Saturday February 3. This is an early, all-ages show. Music starts at 7:30 PM and we should wrap up by 10:30. Come on out, dig the Mystery Band show, and be home in time for Saturday night Live!! This will be the electric version of the band - members include The Great Mark Wydra on guitar, Harland Terson (the Blues Person) on bass and Twist Turner on drums. LAST MINUTE ADDITION - ANTHONY PALMER, BLUES GUITAR GOD!!!!

Mini-Review: In spite of the miserable weather (temperature hit 5 below zero), a healthy crowd turned out at Bill's. Mark Wydra and Anthony Palmer had never played together before, and they both lit up the house. Their outstanding chops and contrasting styles made this show a blues guitar lover's dream!! Many thanks to the fans who braved the elements to join us at Bill's Blues!

I came out to the show at Bill's and was blown away by the energy of Mr G and the band. The guitar playing was absolutely phenomenal!

I was there also, and want to echo Matt's comments and also point out that Mr. G's harp playing and his vocals were fabulous--real old-time blues-style!
