I’d looked for Blues venues in New York before we went there and found Terra Blues which is in Bleeker Street in Grenwich Village and it was not long before we went there.  We found it a friendly relaxed venue and saw some great music there.

This is Irving Louis Lattin, who was the support act.  Here’s his MySpace site, with some of his music.

The rest of the images are of M. Powers Frequency, a New York band playing electric blues, sometimes rock and roll, sometimes Hendrix.  Michael Murch Powers toured with James Cotton when he was young and here is his website, which comes up playing his music.

All these images are taken with the X100 which was surprisingly viable considering it has just a fixed 35mm equivalent lens, though it did help that we were able to get a table at the front.  The low light was pushing the capacity of the camera but the images hold together quite well.
