Tulips Anyone?


The beautiful Rory Block, who is one of the best damn blues players around, has a claim to fame that probably no one else who's played the Narrows has.

Yes, yes she's got all those blues awards. Yes, yes, Bonnie Raitt calls her an "inspiration to me."

Impressive. Yes.

But here's the thing no one else has: A Gold Record in Holland. Her 1987 album, "Best Blues and Originals." She had two hit singles off that record, including one with Stevie Wonder.

See her Friday, February 3 at the Narrows. Go to www.ncfta.org for tickets.

By the way, she's played the Narrows once before. And the Narrows crew gives her their seal of approval for class.
