Concerts & Gigs Red, White & Blues: American Guitar Tribute by Jeffrey James
Skip the fireworks crowds and spend Independence Day where the real fire is, on the fretboard. The Jeffrey James Trio takes the stage at Biscuits & Blues for a live set honoring the legends of American guitar: Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, and more. Biscuits & Blues is one of the city’s most reliable rooms for this kind of thing, intimate, loud enough to feel it, and close enough to the stage that you’ll catch every bend and slide. A fitting way to mark the holiday with music that’s genuinely, deeply American.
