Steamin Isaiah
Location: Kurjovikens Sjökrog, Skellefteå
The Boston jazz club invites you to summer music. The blues band that traditionally closes the music season at the seaside tavern will do so again this year.
Lars Lundberg has sharpened his harmonica and promises a song or two; PA Andersson’s guitar has new, even tighter strings; and Urban Åden has polished the fretboard until it shines. Nicklas Brännberg’s drums are round, stylish, and well-tuned! Support your local blues band! Admission is free. The restaurant is open, and you can book a table on its website.
