Who dat!! Congratulations to the 'Nawlins Saints for winning the Super Bowl! The musical soul of this country got a much needed shot in the arm! Wish I could have been in the French Quarter for that party!

Back at the BBC, 'twas another weekend of the best of the best. Damon Fowler improves exponentially with each show. He has come of age with his own style and a huge fan base--it was standing room only for Fowler's followers! A packed house was treated to special appearances by Jamie Eubanks, and Brad and Brian Foutch on guitars, and Elliott Smith on harp!. The music didn't stop bouncin' off the walls until the very wee hours and the dance floor was still full. Debbie Davies had folks hanging from the shaking rafters with her sold-out show. She is truly one of the best blues singers, players and performers to have graced the BBC stage. No guitar pyrotechnics needed--just playin' the blues as she learned from her mentor and "dad", Albert Collins. Damnation she is good!

Whoa, Nellie! We ain't done yet with two hot blues vixens fixin' to fire some of Cupid's arrows into night. We follow-up with a special Thursday night show with a very special talent--Mike Zito.

We start the Valentine's day fires smolderin' with the combustible mixture of sass, strats and sex appeal when The The Ana Popovic Band turns up the heat at the jook on Friday, February 12. Its been almost three years since Ana last electrified the corner stage and she knows how to light up the place. Ana is a hot, six string axe slinger from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, who now makes the Netherlands home. Ana's soulful, sultry vocals are accompanied by her incendiary guitar play and stellar songwriting--and she's sho'nuff pleasing on the eye. She's an accomplished guitarist who mixes slide, jazz, funk and rock into her blues offerings. Ana's garnered an impressive list of international awards and accolades that attest to her virtuosity and appeal. Together with her 4 piece band, she puts on a scorching show, as anyone who has seen Ana's sold out club shows know. This is hot contemporary blues at it best. Folks will definitely need to cool down by the fire after her sets. She doesn't come this way often so folks should grab this opportunity to catch one of the hottest acts on the blues circuit. A don't miss. The show starts at 9:30. Advance tickets are $13 available at www.bradfordvilleblues.com and $15 on the day of show. Students and members of any blues organization get in for $13. More, including music and video at: http://www.anapopovic.com and http://www.myspace.com/anapopovic.

We set the Valentine's day fires scorching with the sultry, steamin' blues of Robin Rogers & Her Hot Band on Saturday February 13. Robin croons classic blues with her sultry, smooth, soulful voice and style reminiscent of the speakeasy's of the 30's and 40's. Her sets include old school, timeless, traditional \blues, with well timed growls, a hint of gospel and a healthy scatterin' of sass. When she ain't singin', Robin blows a pretty mean blues harp, too. Her repertoire is laced with the songs of Memphis Minnie, Skip James and the Rev. Gary Davis-music tailor made for the ol' jook in the woods. She also turns loose with some red hot bootie shakin' full throated scorchers that'll leave y'all breathless. Robin's performance at the 2009 Blues Music Awards had folks rockin' in the aisles screamin' for more. She won the 2009 Blues Blast Award for Best Female Artist and was nominated for the 2009 Blues Music Award for Female Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year. She is coming off her 2008 debut release for Blind Pig Records, "Treat Me Right". This is music made for romancin'--smooth, sassy, sultry and swingin'. Bring your main squeeze and have a hot time on the dance floor or in dark corner of the BBC. Check out her cuts at: http://www.myspace.com/robinrogers and at: http://www.robinrogers.com/welcome.html Really good stuff and the perfect way to get folks in a romancin' mood for Valentines day.. Advance tickets are $13 available at www.bradfordvilleblues.com and $15 on the day of show. Students and members of any blues organization get in for $13. on the day of show. Show time is 10:00 pm.

Mike Zito returns to the BBC on Thursday, February 18 with his band. He is stopping at the BBC on his way to the Clearwater Sea-Blues Festival on Friday. Mike opened the Tab Benoit show in 2008 with a sterling solo acoustic set. In January 2009, he appeared at the BBC with the Southern Troubadours along with Anders Osborne and Grayson Capps, again captivating the audience. Then, last September, he came in with his band and astounded folks with absolutely superb fretwork without the guitar hero histrionics, unmistakable soulful vocals, stellar songwriting and a phenomenal show. Mike is a gifted songwriter, singer and guitarist. He honed his musical skills in St. Luis and now calls Texas home. His style reflects his Midwest upbringing, blending Americana and roots music with blues; acoustic guitar with west Texas electric honkey tonk string bending, and gutsy, passionate vocals with a slight Texas twang. His shows are soulful, energetic and made for swooning. Mike is not a household name yet, but he will be. Really good stuff! He'll be playing songs from his critically acclaimed cd, "Pearl River". Listen to some music and catch some video at : http://www.myspace.com/mikezito5150 and http://www.mikezito.com Show time is 8:00. Advance tickets are $8 at www.bradfordvilleblues.com and for students and members of any blues organization on the day of show. For all others, day of show tickets are $10. Now that is a bargain!
