Alley Chats: Brett Benton brings the delta blues to Moscow
Not-so-sad blues music picked up the energy levels at John's Alley Friday
Benton and the band are busy, playing between 23-25 shows a month. This August alone they played 25 shows throughout Washington. Some of their favorites places to play at are the now closed Highway 99 Blues Club, the Tractor Tavern in Seattle, Club Crow in Cashmere, The Saphire Room in Boise and the New Roxy in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
The two had heard of John’s Alley through friends who played there previously. In the past they’ve tried to play there but had never worked out until last Friday.
