(SANTA MONICA, Calif.) – Take the legendary TV show Soul Train and cross it with Dick Clark’s very-hip-in-its time American Bandstand and you get a good idea of what a Blowin’ Smoke Rhythm & Blues Revue show is like. That is, a packed dance floor full of sweaty souls enjoying themselves more than should be allowed by law! Hence the band’s ‘warning/disclaimer:’ “Seeing and listening to Blowin’ Smoke live will cause permanent joy and happiness to occur during and after performances.”

Come see what all the fuss is about and catch the acclaimed longtime eleven-piece R&B/Blues/Soul ensemble in concert at Harvelle’s, 1432 4th St., Santa Monica, Saturday night, February 23. 9 pm-2 am. $10. Info: (310) 395-1676 or http://santamonica.harvelles.com/.
