HowellDevine: Blues trio
Details
I'm heeding a request for more blues shows! :) ... and what better band to add than the fabulous HowellDevine, whom Meetup members have enjoyed at various venues over the years? This crowd-pleasing band is known for their juicy, hard-driving blues and roots music, featuring Josh Howell on guitar, harmonica, and vocals, Joe Kyle Jr. on bass, and J Hansen on drums.

NOTE THAT THIS IS AN EARLY SUNDAY SHOW!
SEATING: General admission, on couches and chairs, in a casual, pleasantly funky, coffeehouse-type setting
WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Meet me out front of the Back Room by 3:30 p.m., so we can get seats together. If we miss each other outside, look for each other in the seating area. (The show is scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m. and will likely consist of two sets, ending at about 6:00 p.m.)
HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, with short, salt-and-pepper hair, and glasses. (See my photo with my Meetup profile.) I'll send my cellphone number and more info to RSVPers prior to the event. If I get seated before other Meetup RSVPers, I'll post a Comment on the Meetup Event Page saying where I'm located. PLEASE TEXT ME IF YOU DON'T SPOT ME.
OPTIONAL POST-SHOW DINNER at a Korean fusion restaurant up the street. NOTE: I typically limit dinners to six Meetup members, preferably ones who haven't accumulated a bunch of no-shows or late cancellations.
(NOTE: NO food or drink is sold at the Back Room, but you are free to bring your own snacks or BYOB.)

PARKING: There is a paid parking lot directly across the street from The Back Room. Folks also typically find free parking on side streets or main streets. (Note: It's easier to find parking as you get away from Shattuck OR as you go north of University.) There's also a fee-based parking garage down the street from The Freight, a few blocks away.

TRANSIT/LOCATION: The Back Room is located just off University, about a block from MLK (and Trader Joe's), on AC Transit bus routes, and less than a half-mile from the downtown Berkeley BART station.
