You Sure Are Pretty When I'm Bluesy

The number of times they've put this show on says it all. The Fourteenth Annual Downtown Blues Fest begins tonight, Friday, Nov. 3. And don't bother checking your pockets for loose change just yet, because this show is free.

The show is being put on by the Gainesville-based North Central Florida Blues Society. They have a variety of events in this region of the state in the near future.

But we like to keep it local in the Ville, so before you head downtown to the corner of S.E. 1st Street and E. University Avenue, take a listen to Used Blues. They're playing at 7 p.m.

Their music clips on myspace aren't the greatest, but they have some videos on their website that do their best to make up for it. Just below the videos on the page they have a wide selection of songs available for download.

Blues is where it all began, as far as the Ville is concerned, so let's all enjoy a free show with our hometown boys who can pluck out some down-home bluesy tunes.
