UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Mike Wilhelm & Hired Guns will play Blues Monday at the Blue Wing Saloon in Upper Lake on Monday, May 7.

Blues Mondays are a regular Monday feature at the Blue Wing Saloon & Café. The band plays from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Guitarist/vocalist Wilhelm is a recent inductee into the American Heritage International Foundation Blues Hall of Fame.

Bassist Jamie Webber came up in Chicago, playing with Earl Hooker. More recently he was the longtime bassist for rock, blues and country legend Lonnie Mack.

Sticks the Drummer is a recent arrival in Lake County and is the most recent member to join. He stays in the pocket with Webber at all times.

Another recent addition is lead guitarist Gary Bouley, an extremely fluent player who lends yet more nuances to Wilhelm's already evocative blues.

Rounding out the band is tenor saxophonist Dave Gower whose solos draw applause from audiences and band members alike and whom Wilhelm describes as "… the style of player I've been looking for, a real find."

Blue Wing Saloon & Cafe is part of the historic Tallman Hotel complex located at 9520 Main St., Upper Lake.

Due to the popularity of the Monday night blues shows reservations are recommended. Further information is available at www.BlueWingSaloon.com .
