Blues Tuesday

On some Tuesdays there are Blues players from all over the country that come to a local pub to perform.  Some really big names in that field of music come to play and since its held on Tuesday and in a place between two large cities, and most bands don't have gigs on Tuesdays it's not unusual to be right up close to players you'd ordinarily only see from the nose bleed seats of some arena.
The bad part is that most bands set up their equipment like they're playing in one of those arenas.  It can be pretty loud.
