photos from the blues festival

Last Saturday's charrette at Fenton Street Market left me completely wiped and barely able to drive home, let alone stick around for the second-annual Silver Spring Blues Festival. Come back tomorrow for more on the charrette, but in the meantime, friend of JUTP and awesome photographer Chip Py sent us these photos of the event, which featured performances from a slew of the D.C.-area's best blues outfits.

Paul Bell and Johnny Castle of The Nighthawks.

Mark Wenner of The Nighthawks.

Mary Shaver of Mary Shaver and the Smokin' Polecats.

Chip's caption: "BwwaaHahahahaha." It certainly is ironic.
