REMINDER: All blues shows in the state of Arizona are now non-smoking. If you've been skipping the live blues scene because of a smoke allergy or just not wanting to smell cigarette smoke all night, cigarette smoke at nightclubs is a thing of the past. So get on out and show your support for Arizona blues musicians. Remember, the music still smokes!
