Joanna Connor Blues Band (May 10)

One of Nietzsche’s favorite and most popular acts, the Joanna Connor Blues Band continues to draw fans each time they swing through town. Connor took the Chicago blues scene by storm when she arrived on it in the mid-eighties, playing around town with well known combos and wowing audiences with her incredible slide guitar skills before putting together her own band just a few years later. Now a veteran on Blind Pig Records and a fixture in the Windy City, she maintains a regular touring schedule, which luckily has her coming through Buffalo a few times a year. That’s not nearly often enough, but we’ll take it. The Joanna Connor Blues Band plays two shows at Nietzsche’s this Saturday (May 10), at 9 and 11:30pm. Ann Philippone will play an opening set at 8:30pm.
