The cool of December got some heat straight from the Motor City when Laura Rain and George Friend came to Southern California for a quick mini-tour.  The duo's first trip to the West Coast exposed the sun drenched natives to some groovy, heavy duty soul.  Enjoy a photo essay by Alex Gardner of two of the shows that the BLUES JUNCTION team was lucky enough to attend.
