Whether your stereo is pumping Jay-Z, Metallica, Fela Kuti or Madonna, you’re sure to find a show on B.B. King’s schedule that you won’t want to miss. B.B. King’s also happens to be one of the nicest venues I’ve ever seen. The room’s stylistic flourishes recall the posh swing palaces of the 30’s and 40’s, making you feel swanky even if you haven’t shaved in days and are sporting the same dirty, smelly old Chuck Taylors you wore to the Warped Tour. The sound system is good, the sight lines are fantastic and the room is small enough that you never feel too far away from the band. And with such a huge bar, you won’t have to elbow your way through a herd of people to order a drink.
This happening venue hosted an otherworldly show featuring Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra this past September 26th. If you’ve never heard of him, Ottmar is an amazing flamenco/classical guitarist hailing from Santa Fe, currently on tour with his band Luna Negra in support of their latest release, La Semana. Combining flamenco with jazz, world music, and flavors of acid and trance for spice, Luna Negra paint instrumental soundscapes that are intimate portraits of human experience.
