Ann Arbor, Michigan Blues Music & Record Stores

Yes, all Ann Arbor stores have the Blues this year, not just music stores, (due to their team's woes)!

:-)
(Sorry, but being a Notre Dame fan, I just could not resist! Misery loves company, as they say.)

And not that my team is doing a whole lot better, but still, .....

(And yes, it is fun to gloat, at least this year. Next year may be a whole other story!)

So the next topic should be:

Who will get the boot first, Weis or Rodriguez?

P.J.'s and Encore. While you're in the area, you may want to check out Paragon Sight & Sound, and Overture Audio. Bought my Wilson's from Larry at Paragon. He moved closer to town from Saline Rd. He's now at 3780 Jackson Rd. Great store. Overture Audio sells a little vinyl.

Yeah, I checked out Overture Audio when I was there, and the guy in there was great, letting us listen to a couple of different systems that were already set up in there. I would recommend them highly to anyone living anywhere near there.

i used to go to encore records twice a year. yes their prices are probably a little higher than other stores in the area but the selection is usually superior in blues and jazz.
bring a portable disc player so you do not have to share the in store machine as it can get backed up easily. last time i picked up big bill broonzy and blind willie mctell.

If your looking for live music in A2. Search on WEMU radio and go to their datebook section. Pretty good live music listing.
