UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Blues fans are in for a treat when Mike Wilhelm & Hired Guns welcome their special guest Mighty Mike Schermer to reprise his last performance with the band at the Blue Wing on Monday, Nov. 14.
It seemed that Wilhelm and Schermer had an instant rapport and easy interplay the first time they were paired enabling these seasoned guitar pros to give a memorable performance which left the dancing audience exhausted but happy.
When Blue Wing proprietor Bernie Butcher learned that Schermer would be touring in Northern California in November, he contacted Schermer to find out if he would be available on Nov. 14, which indeed he was. Wilhelm was agreeable as well.
Filling out the band will be Randy Hare, guitar/backup vocal; Slammin' Scott Slagle, drums/backup vocal; Jamie Webber, bass and James “Jimmy the Lion” Leonardis, tenor saxophone.
Show time is 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The Blue Wing Saloon & Café is part of the historic Tallman Hotel complex. Reservations are recommended for parties of six or more; call 707-275-2244.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Nesta Rae, a Kelseyville High School graduate who has made a name for herself on the national country music scene, is returning to Lake County in November for a concert and celebration of the release of her debut album entitled “Fly Free.”
The show, with full band, starts at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, with all seats selling at $15.
Andy Rossoff, local singer and pianist, opens.
“Fly Free” was released in July 2011 after a week long writing session in Nashville, Tennessee, with fellow song writers Scott Krippayne, Kent Hooper and Ron Robinson.
It chronicles Nesta's journey of letting go of the past in order to make room for the future. The songs have a beachy, acoustic pop vibe, highlighted with a little reggae, and underscored with a few darker melodic ballads.
“The ocean has always been an inspirational element in my life. I wanted this album to feel like a warm campfire after a day of surfing. You have a sense of calm as you just let the stories wash over you,” Rae said.
