On hand will be a who\u2019s who of local blues talent including singer Mercedes Moore, acoustic bluesman Robin Henkel, electric guitarist Lenny “Fuzzy” Rankins and bands such as The Bayou Brothers and 145th Street.

Rarely considered a lead instrument, it\u2019s tone is often the icing on a musical piece. However, in the right hands, the instrument can be a powerhouse. Such will be the case on July 27 with a concert featuring two celebrated flautists, New York-based Jamie Baum and San Diegan Lori Bell at Dizzy\u2019s. Backed by pianist Leonard Thompson and bassist Justin Grinnell, both Baum and Bell are virtuosos bringing new light to their instrument of choice. This one off musical pairing should find them reaching new heights.
\nJamie Baum & Lori Bell: Saturday, July 27 at Dizzy\u2019s at Arias Hall, 1717 Morena Blvd. 8 p.m. $20 ($10 students). dizzysjazz.com. Country music is having a resurgence in San Diego, thanks to combos such as Barbwire, who appear at Humphrey\u2019s Backstage Live, on Aug. 1. Formed circa 2014, the band includes plenty of twang in their sound, particularly singer\/guitarist James Holland, but they also stretch out a bit with blues and a bit of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, all custom built for hitting the dance floor. Barbwire\u2019s most recent single, “Long Hard Ride,” takes it\u2019s cues from classic roadhouse country, slotting in well amongst the cover tunes in their repertoire.
\nBarbwire: Thursday, Aug. 1 at Humphrey\u2019s Backstage Live, 2241 Shelter Island Drive. 7 p.m. humphreysbackstagelive.com. Pat Benatar tribute group, We Belong, performs at Campland On The Bay on Aug. 3. Featuring Debbie and Mike Sierras as Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, We Belong has extra authenticity in their sound; they feature an original member of their celebrated group, bassist Roger Capps. Capps played on Benatar\u2019s first five albums and such classics as “Heartbreaker,” “Love Is A Battlefield,” and “We Live For Love,” giving We Belong\u2019s rhythm section a major boost. Meanwhile Debbie Sierras does a good job with Benatar\u2019s vocals making this an excellent representation of an \u201980s music icon.
\nWe Belong: Saturday, Aug. 3 at Campland on the Bay. 8 p.m. All ages. Free. campland.com. The 710 Beach Club will be the site of a two tribute band bill on Aug. 3, featuring Musehead, a combined tribute to Muse and Radiohead and the Fooz Fighters, a band that celebrates the music of Dave Grohl and company. Both combos are quite good, but it\u2019s hard to beat the Fooz Fighters for sheer energy. They feature a hit-filled set that\u2019s sure to have the crowd singing along from the first note, but it\u2019s frontman Nicky Rich that makes this group. That they pretty much sound and look like the real thing seals the deal.
\nFooz Fighters: Saturday, Aug. 3 at the 710 Beach Club, 710 Garnet Ave. 9 p.m. 21 and up. $5. 710bc.com.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
