The Little Village Foundation is throwing a blues music party in downtown San Jose.
And it’s free — which is a ticket price we can really get behind in this (or, really, any other) economy.
Little Village’s Big Easy Block Party & Beer Fest, which highlights mostly blues artists signed to the Santa Barbara County-based Little Village label, is set for Aug. 30. It runs 11 a.m.-8 p.m. in the Little Italy business district, which is located near SAP Center on West Saint John Street.
The lineup for the festival includes Rick Estrin & the Night Cats with Kyle Rowland, Chris Cain with Maurice Tani, D.K. Harrell with Greaseland All-Stars, Alabama Mike with Nia Cephas, All Things Swamp, Aki Kumar Band, Mighty Mike Schermer Band, John Blues Boyd and Marina Crouse.
There are will also be more than 40 beers to taste. (We highly recommend not trying to taste all of them.)
