Tuesday is now Blues Night currently featuring Jimmy Limo, a one-man blues band that puts out more than you'd expect. His confident, smooth guitar playing, strong voice and friendly outgoing persona soon have you forgetting that the background is canned. He's laid down all the background tracks himself and it works.
Raised listening to the boogie-woogie keyboard work of his father and the blues greats of the '60s and early '70s, Limo has carried his love for the blues from California to Hawaii to Salem, Oregon which he now calls home. You can also catch him playing around town with his partner Christina Eastman in the Eastman Limo Band.

Bio
Jimmy Limo is a professional guitarist and vocalist whose music has been entertaing crowds for over 37 years. Born and raised in the outskirts of Los Angeles, he grew up listening to the musical legends of the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. His musical inspirations run from the blues of Albert King and Muddy Waters, to the jazz of George Benson and Miles Davis, to the classic rock of the Ventures and Jimi Hendrix’s mellow ballads.
After attending the University of Southern California on a full scholarship, he left the smog and crowds in 1972 for the musically inspirational beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. It was there that he developed his unique and melodic guitar style. For twenty years he performed in luxury resorts, restaurants and nightclubs on virtually every island. Besides playing music full-time, he also owned and operated his own guitar shop, “Mauna Kea Music” and opened the popular and wildly successful restaurant/nightclub “the Redwater Cafe” on the Big Island of Hawaii. In 1990 he left the islands for the burgeoning blues scene in Portland, Oregon, where he played regularly until leaving for Las Vegas in 1999. For over 8 years he performed 5 days a week at the Nevada Palace Casino, and played 6 days a week for 16 months at the new Eastside Cannery Casino. With a repertoire of over 300 songs, Jimmy always has the right song for the right situation. His music is relaxing, enjoyable and above all, ACCESSIBLE. He never plays over his audience’s heads and is always aware of the appropriate volume level. For a refreshing change from the common “piano bar” music for dinner and after-dinner drinking and dancing try JIMMY LIMO, 1-MAN BAND .
