For Chicago blues look for a three man group called Caffeine Carl and the Buzz. They generally play at the SWB but will also show up at the Half Shell of an afternoon. The harmonica player, Alabama Gil, sounds like a young Paul Butterfield.

For Delta blues, there is a black man who sings at the sunset pier at the Ocean Key Resort at 0 Duval Street. You'd swear it was Muddy Waters.
