A special evening of blues and fine dining is set for Friday, October 17, as the Escarabajo Blues Band brings a heartfelt tribute to Chicago blues legends to Casa del Sol Inn in Ajijic. While some may try to chase the blues away, this band is leading the celebration of them, one visceral note at a time.
The night kicks off with a gourmet dinner at 5:30, followed by the concert at 7, promising an experience that blends flavor, feeling, and soul in equal measure. Guests can expect an intimate setting where good food and great music come together to create something truly memorable.
Blues lovers can look forward to an electrifying performance from a powerhouse lineup of Eric “Slim” Miller on guitar and vocals, Omar Ramirez on keyboard, Alfonso Fuentes on bass, Archie Salcedo on drums, and Chuco Soto on saxophone. These seasoned musicians bring decades of experience and a deep love for the genre to the stage.
“We’re going to honor the spirit of blues legends like Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and B.B. King by playing what we feel,” says Miller.
It’s not about copying licks for this band, it’s about channeling the energy of phenomenal blues legends and keeping the soul of their music alive in a way and refreshingly raw.
“The main idea is for the music to flow and have the audience feeling it,” Miller explains.
This tribute to Chicago blues isn’t just a concert, it’s an invitation to move, to feel, and to connect through the timeless power of live music. And the ultimate goal?
“A smile on people’s faces, and legs tired from dancing,” states Miller.
With their passionate approach, the Escarabajo Blues Band promises an evening that honors blues legends while creating something fresh and unforgettable.
