The Golden Gate Blues Society's 2024 BAND winner, Jeffrey James, came back and amazed us as a soloist. Special recognition was given from our esteemed judges panel of Larry Batiste, Mike Kappas and Anthony Paule.
Jeffrey is truly an exceptional artist and his talents emerge when he is left to his own. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to hear the man, his guitar, and voice in this nearly perfect environment.
Funds raised will cover travel expenses to The Blues Foundation's 2026 International Blues Challenge, Memphis TN.
