If blues doesn't automatically come to mind as a KC musical legacy the way jazz or shitty lite metal does, it should. KC blues exports Trampled Under Foot and Samantha Fish have garnered four nominations for the 2012 Blues Music Awards, putting them up against the ranks of Wynton Marsalis and Eric Clapton? That's big-time, yet one or two of the Schnebelen sibs or Fish herself still stops by sometimes for the
Monday Night Jam at Point Loco (7439 Broadway, 816-333-8226). "When our original spot [Hannibal's Waldo Bar] closed last year, I knew we couldn't let this jam go," says Hanna Sandbeck, a Point Loco bartender who has helped promote the jam since it began. "It creates such fun energy on an otherwise slow, boring night." It also means a lot to the musicians, and PBR drafts are only $2. The jam starts around 8 p.m.
