Bluesfest: Jim Campilongo

Up next on my Sunday was a set from San Francisco-by-way-of-New York guitarist Jim Campilongo. I'm not sure if anyone went to the festival intending to see Campilongo, since though he's one of those guitarists' guitarist he doesn't have much of a profile up here, but there was a handful of people on hand who seemed to appreciate his 1950s axe update ... fans of his work with the Little willies, maybe?

The man himself.

I'm really not sure what's going on with that backdrop.
