FREE Live Music from Dave Specter with Lil' Red & The Rooster. Opening set by Noah Wotherspoon

Dave Specter: a 41 year veteran of the Chicago blues scene, just released his 14th album, Live at SPACE on Delmark Records.
He appears on over 50 albums as a guitarist, bandleader and/or producer including compilation recordings with Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Eric Clapton and Mike Bloomfield.
Downbeat magazine calls Dave “one of the few top-tier guitarists” and he’s performed in 19 countries with recent shows in Spain, France, Belgium and Switzerland.
Dave’s unique guitar style combines elements of Chicago blues with influences ranging from Magic Sam, Buddy Guy and Otis Rush to the Texas/West Coast styles of T-Bone Walker, Gatemouth Brown and the Vaughan brothers.

Lil' Red & The Rooster
"His playing is the slow burn to Lil' Red's flickering flame, and together they create a dynamic that is impossible to fake." — Modern Mystery
A deep calling led them both to the Blues, and the Blues brought Lil' Red (Jennifer Milligan) and Pascal Fouquet together in 2010. They've been living and breathing their music ever since—Retro Modern Blues—intimately real, at times hilarious, and always coming from love and respect for humanity and the Blues. International Blues Challenge finalists (2019) and featured on PBS's Songs at the Center, they've released "Soul Burnin'" (2017) featuring Dave Specter, "Keep On!" (2022) with Billy Branch, Kenny Smith & Felton Crews, and "7" (2025) featuring Bobby Floyd. Catch them at Buddy Guy's Legends, on festival stages, or on their weekly live streams—because for them, it's all about the music, it's all about the shuffle, it's all about the Blues.
"A deeply satisfying journey that feels both rooted in tradition and daring enough to stretch beyond it." — Blues Matters

🔹🔹As we approach our 🎆🎆🎆RED, WHITE & BLUES CELEBRATION ON THE 4TH OF JULY🎆🎆 🎆we’ll be celebrating blues legends and history with our password of the week! This week’s password honors 🎹Hersal Thomas🎹, a blues piano prodigy gone too soon. Born in Houston, Texas in 1906, 🎹Hersal Thomas🎹 was one of many talented siblings in the Thomas family. Alongside his brother, George Washington Thomas, Hersel is credited with pioneering the boogie-woogie style of blues piano. By merely 15 or 16, 🎹Hersal Thomas🎹 toured with King Oliver and Louis Armstrong and had recorded several songs under his own name, and as an accompanist to Hociel Thomas, Sippie Wallace, Lilian Miller and possibly, Sodarisa Miller. 🎹Hersal Thomas🎹 tragically died of food poisoning while working at Penny's Pleasure Inn in Detroit at the young age of 19, with the circumstances surrounding his death never clarified and shrouded in mystery. Though his career was brief, it was prolific with a legacy that lives on through countless other piano players and blues artists who have borrowed from Hersal’s legendary boogie woogie style of blues. 🔹🔹 ▶ Password, menu, dress code, upcoming events, musician calendar, tiki class tickets & more always available on our website! 🥂 Whisperz Speakeasy | 926 Watertower Lane | 25 & up | Finer attire required | Dress code enforced | Password required for entry 🥂 Dayton's favorite new venue for live jazz, blues & lounge style music 5 nights per week, Tuesday through Saturday #blueshistory #redwhiteandblues #whatsthesecretpassword
