Living the Blues

Saturday at the Wave it’s The Kid and Nic Show from SoCal. Nicole Tracy is Nic; her husband Kirk is The Kid. “We play casinos primarily, along with county fairs and so forth,” said Nic calling from L.A. “We mostly play swingin’ blues, but with different casinos you get different demographics. We’ll play anything from country and rock to old jazz Louis Armstrong-style. I’ll even put a bandana on my head and play ‘Sweet Child of Mine.’ It’s a nice little package — we’re proud of it.”

Elsewhere in Blue Lake Saturday, specifically at the Logger Bar, The Hard Ride and Radio Moscow offer two different takes on rock, both heavy (and no Axl Rose impressions).
