![]() Jack Yoder & The 2 Piece Suit 8pm ~ midnight $4 Cover Our "Bayous"... Jack Yoder – Guitar, Dobro, Vocals, Harp, Fearless leader Jack once asked his childhood friend Brian Gibson (really - no joke) to teach him to play Judas Priest on his brother’s guitar back in the 80’s. Brian agreed but also required him to learn a few B.B. King and Robert Johnson tunes as “payment”. The rest just wrote itself. Jack fell in love at first twang of the blues back then and has played and performed for over 20 years in numerous bands spanning the map from Atlanta to San Francisco to New Orleans. The last of which quickly became his spiritual home where he considers himself as having “walked in a guitarist and walked out a musician”. It was in The Crescent City that he began seriously crafting his own voice and performed regularly as a solo act. The majority of music Jack has composed over the years is unmistakably drawn from the earthy soul and ethereal state of mind that true New Orleans purists immediately nod to. Then he met Vito and Anna and decided that well...maybe a little break from the hurricanes was in order. Anna Lisa Hughes - Bass, Vocals Anna Lisa's music career began at age 25, in China, just as she finished her Mandarin studies in Beijing. She headlined at many of Shanghai's most popular venues including The Cotton Club and charmed the crowds with her fluent Mandarin and commanding stage presence. In October 2010, Anna Lisa was invited to play with her trio at the JZ Shanghai Music Festival, one of the largest music festivals in China. Shortly thereafter, she began working on her first album, "Something I've Been Missing", and moved back to the USA to complete it. In 2011, Anna Lisa formed Amazon Eye Shadow with singer/songwriter and guitarist, Eef, and later began playing bass in Eef and the Blues Express. Now, the well-traveled bassist/songstress lives in Denver, not far from her hometown of Boulder, Colorado. You can see more of Anna at www.annalisa-live.com . Then she met Jack and Vito and decided to explore the undefinable unknown. Vito Lella – Drums Though the French horn was Vito’s first instrument taken up in elementary school, he soon figured out that carrying a pair of sticks and a pad beat the hell out of lugging a 30 lb., clunky horn case back and forth to school… especially in the rain … and living a mile away… uphill …both ways. He played in the school orchestra band, jazz band and a rock and roll band till about age 15 when he decided a good 34 year rest was required. At 49, his son’s urging to play “Rock Band” on the Wii video console re-ignited his desire to play drums. After trying to figure out how he could start playing and not have his wife file for divorce, he settled on an electronic drum set with headphones…for a while. Since then, Vito has been voraciously studying, practicing and improving his musical voice as a drummer and has played in a number of performing bands. Then he met Jack and Anna and reaffirmed his belief in the theory that “It’s better to be lucky than good”. Friday ~ May 24

DANNY HAYNES Danny brings 40 plus year of experience to the Alan Knight and Company Band. Born near Dallas, Texas, he was part of the vibrant music scene that produced the Vaughan brothers-Stevie and Jimmie. Danny became a full-time musician in the early 70's and never looked back. He toured the USA and Canada with Tommy Latham and McCool-a Vegas type show band that allowed him to become a seasoned stage performer. In 1976, he started The King Peach Band.

In 1996, he moved to Australia became an integral part of the music scene, culminating in the recording of his CD, Built For Comfort.

Westword, Best of Denver 2011 AND 2009
Ziggies, Best Blues Jam. Thank you to all the great musicians who make this happen! ![]() Best Blues Jam - 2011 While Ziggie's has long been hailed as Denver's oldest blues bar, in recent years it's expanded into other genres, such as rock, R&B and funk. In addition to an acoustic open-mike night on Mondays, an open jam on Tuesdays and a chance to sit in with featured musicians on Wednesdays, Ziggie's also boasts one of the longest-running blues jams in town on Sundays. And that's where the real action is. The Doc Brown Blues Band and the Blues Allstars alternate hosting the blues jams, which bring in a variety of solid musicians playing covers and originals. Keyboard players need not worry about bringing down a keyboard; the bar has one available for the jams, which kick off at 7 p.m. Westword, March 31-April 6, 2011, Volume 34, Number 31, Page 98 ![]() Thank You Denver!!! Ziggies - "Best Blues Jam" 2009 Westword's Best of Denver "Best Blues Jam" "Ziggies has always been known as Denver's oldest blues bar, but ...Carla Jordan, who took over the place and remodeled it just over a year ago have expanded the music selection by also bringing in R&B, funk, rock and jazz acts on Fridays and Saturdays.
