Old Bowie Town Grille/Bowie, MD


If you are in the Baltimore-DC area on a Wednesday night, do yourself a big blues favor and check out the jam here at the Old Bowie Town Grille. This was my second time playing this jam in the past couple of months and it has to be one of the best, if not the best blues jam in this area. A super mix of musicians are showing up to play, and that includes horn, harp and keyboard players up every set. I was able to be up playing two sets this evening. The first I played behind a very, very good 15 year old guitar player, Andy. Looking a lot like a young Mike Bloomfield and playing with the same taste and intensity, the pleasure was all mine to back this kid up. Chip, the jam master and house drummer does a great job of getting people up and matching up experienced players and those that are still working up their musical chops. The sign up list comes out at 7:30 and the jam starts on time at 8:00.
