To classify Chris Duarte simply as a Blues Man is an understatement. In his own words, “rockin’ blues” or ”punk blues” describes him best. “Ferocious blues” also fits. Legend has it that Chris will play so hard that his fingers bleed in a set. The legend is true. Photos attest.
Jonathan Robinson is coming to perform at the friday evening Cape Fear Blues Festival.

Although we will not have our Rhythm Bones playing on Easter Sunday, we will still be gathering for a potluck meal. Feel free to bring a dish or snacks, and we’ll celebrate neighborhood style. We are planning to gather at 3, and eat at about 3:45. If you’re looking for something to do, come on by!
Happy Easter!
