[Harp-L] RE: Colorado Springs place to jam

["Dave Minson" <daveminson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bobby BlackHat asked the following:
I will be headed out to Colorado Springs for a few days and would like to do
a little jamming while I'm in the area.  Does anyone know what the blues
scene is like out there?  Any suggestions on clubs or open mics?


Bobby,
I have copied the following from our Colorado Blues Society weekly update on places to jam, etc.  Recommend you call each venue before you show up as these gigs change fairly frequently and notice is not always given.  Hope it is helpful.  Good luck.
