Sandpoint Summer Series concludes with local blues jam

By Reader Staff

The fifth-annual Sandpoint Summer Music Series will wrap up Thursday, Sept. 12 with a local’s night at Sandpoint’s Farmin Park featuring John Firshi and the Monday Night Blues Crew. The free concert begins at 6 p.m. and is open to all ages. Gates open at 5 p.m. 

Known for their long-running public jam every Monday night at Eichardt’s Pub, the Blues Crew specializes in a loose and groovy collection of jams that span genres.
