A visitor's guide to the blues.

If you ever find yourself in the heartland of California and have a hankering for the blues, you won't be disappointed. Fresno has a rich blues history and an active scene. Many blues fans from out-of-town go away amazed at what good music is going on here.
My favorite artists are Hosea Leavy, Harmonica Slim, Ron Thompson, MoFo Party Band and Blues West. There are literally scores of other talented artists and bands who play regularly. The information is current as of late 1997 but I'd recommend a call before you go to any of these places.

Fred averages about one blues gig a week with some local acts. It is the only place to regularly feature out-of-town blues shows. Cover charges are typical but rarely over $15 for even the biggest acts. Covers for local artists vary from free to $5. No food but there is a passable Chinese place next door and several very good places just down the street in the main part of the Tower District.
