January 15th of 1988 Jimmy Sweetwater rolled into San Francisco from the swamps of Florida with a handful of harmonicas and a washboard and he hasn’t looked back. Since then Jimmy has played on better than 39 albums and with countless bands. He’s played San francisco’s dank bowery bars and the City’s largest stages not to mention being the House Harp at the fabled Albion during it’s heyday. Now, Jimmy is looking forward to New Orleans and giving us a chance to look back at his time here and the many great band’s he’s played with. So please join us an evening of great music, great friends and a chance to swap great memories. Let’s give this tall glass of water a sweet farewell….
