A set from bluesman Robin Henkel is nothing less than a fun time. A manic performer, he involves his audience through storytelling, jokes and a performing style that’s as over the top as it is endearing. Best of all, his guitar playing is second to none. Whether it’s his slide or acoustic blues, you will be dazzled. On Oct. 4, Henkel will perform a special morning show at Birdrock Coffee Roasters, where he will be joined by British blues singer and poetess Mama Tokus. The melding of their two styles should produce fireworks galore and spark Henkel into even more dramatic guitar runs and improvisations. Whether you’re a longtime fan of either performer or new to their blues union, you will be thoroughly entertained. • ROBIN HENKEL: Saturday, Oct. 4 at BIRDROCK COFFEE ROASTERS, 5627 La Jolla Blvd. 10 a.m. All ages.
