Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers were joined by the legendary Boz Scaggs at Bimbo’s 365 Club in San Francisco, CA on 03/08/13. It was certainly a rare occasion, and a wonderful time had by all. They performed a couple of songs together, including “Let The Good Times Roll” by Shirley and Lee. Good times!
