‘Cool Blues Fusion‘ with Small Change at the Bohemian Cafe, Saturday, July 12th. Doors will open at 6:30pm and the Boh will have a supper menu and licensed drinks available that evening. We’ll start playing around 7:30pm.

Admission is only $10.

Tickets are available at the Boh, or contact me (Jim- 250 763 1017).

Sven Nordlund’s slide guitar, vocals, and harmonica style draw from the varied syncopated rhythms of the earlier blues artists. This is blended with the subtle world rhythms of percussionist Jim Copeman, and the improvisational fretless bass playing of Jim Caldwell. Combine this with influences from Tom Waits, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and you start to get an idea of our sound.
