Providence sings the blues at Lupo's tonight

The blues, in all their timeless, trend-defying glory, come to Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence this evening.

Josh Barber, who's opening tonight at Lupo's for the power lineup of Jimmie Vaughan, Roomful of Blues and Lou Ann Barton, made a page on projo.com's mp3 site last night and uploaded five tunes.

For a link to the mp3, head over to Sheila Lennon's Subterranean Homepage News blog here on projo.com.

For the uninitiated, Vaughan's brother was the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, a guitar player who could channel otherworldly rock and blues of Jimi Hendrix and jazzier stylings of Wes Montgomery. Jimmie Vaughan has some scorching licks of his own and has played with other heavyweights such as Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy.

For tickets, $25, go to www.etix.com. For more info, call (401) 331-5876 or (401) 272-5876. Lupo’s is at 79 Washington St.
