Lightnin' Al Chesis and Smokin' Joe Sciallo @The Mining Exchange, Friday, January 9, 2026

Lightnin’ Al Chesis on harmonica and Smokin’ Joe Sciallo on guitar bring the blues to the Mining Exchange.

When Chicago harmonica meets West Coast guitar, you get the raw, gritty heartbeat of real blues.

Al Chesis, the harmonica wizard and frontman of the Delta Sonics, brings decades of stage-honed intensity and Little Walter magic. Joe Sciallo, leading his own outfit The Deep End, weaves in jazz-tinged shuffles and jump-blues grooves that feel both timeless and fresh. Together, they forge a stripped-back dialogue—harp and guitar sparking, trading licks, building tension, then melting into wistful, smoky resolve. It’s a duo steeped in tradition, but always looking forward—a musical conversation you don’t just hear, you feel.

This event is sponsored by Dizzy Charlie's.
