Bluesfest: Jim Suhler and Monkey Beat

After catching a few Dropkick Murphys tunes I stepped over to the Subway Stage to see some Texas Blues courtesy of Jim Suhler and Monkey Beat. You want your Stevie Ray fix? Here you go. You may also get a bit of Hendrix and some British blues sounds as a bonus.

This is not Jim. It's Shawn Phares, his keyboardist.

this also isn't Suhler; it's his drummer Jimmy Morgan.
