Gumbo goes down best with live blues music (you can look it up), and San Jose’s Poor House Bistro is bringing out some big guns from the Bay Area blues scene. Among the headliners playing the Gumbo Party are Moby Grape frontman Jerry Miller (pictured), boogie-woogie pianist Mitch Woods, veteran vocalist Andy Santana, the red-hot band Motordude Zydeco, Nightcats icons Rick Estrin and Kid Andersen, bluesman-turned-reggae man Rusty Zinn and a ton more. All together, that’s 20 acts performing all day into the night for two days. Plus, plenty of Cajun food for everyone. A benefit for the Fountain Blues Foundation. Runs through Sunday. (WB)
