New York City's blues club, Chicago's B.L.U.E.S., is to close Aug. 17. Located on Eighth Avenue near 14th Street at the northern edge of Greenwich Village, the blues club was a stop for major blues artists on the club level.
The club plans a farewell jam on closing night led by Jimmy Vivino, who is part of the Max Weinberg Seven on "The Conan O'Brien Show," as well as a fixture on the New York Scene. With Manny's Car Wash closing a few years ago, the Apple will lose its second primary blues club.
