Wolf's Every Monday Blues Show & Sit-In Jam
Wolf’s Every Monday Blues Show & Sit-In Jam is a long-running Monday-night blues program at Hank Dietle’s Tavern, bringing established Washington-area players, emerging talent, and occasional surprise guests together for a live host-band set followed by an open sit-in jam. The rotating lineup and unannounced guest appearances make each edition different, with musicians from across the regional blues scene invited to take the stage.
The evening’s host band features guitarists and vocalists Linwood Taylor, an international touring artist, and Matt Kelley, an Albert King Award winner, along with guitarist Mike Westcott, a multi-award recipient and four-time International Blues Challenge finalist, and guitarist-vocalist Guy Bouchie of GXB. Andy Hamburger plays drums and Wolf Crescenze plays bass, with additional special guests appearing from time to time. Past drop-in performers have included Guitar Shorty, Bill Kirchen, Eugene Hideaway Bridges, Jimmy Carpenter, Memphis Gold, Bruce Ewan, Bobby Radcliff, Pierre Beauregard, Johnny Sansone, Johnny Vidacovich, and Grammy nominees Tab Benoit and Steve Riley.
