Jazz & Blues Florida was on the road in New England this week and caught a true grassroots blues experience at The Chicken Shack at The Farm at Carter Hill in Marlborough, CT. The event was part of the Connecticut Blues Society Blues Jam Summer Series, held the first Thursday of every month from May through September.

This month’s featured guest was Garry Segal, an accomplished guitarist and harmonica player with deep roots in the Connecticut blues scene. After years in Arizona, this marked his first Connecticut appearance in several years. His return was met with a warm welcome from fans and fellow musicians alike. He's back in CT for this special one-night-only show!

Backed by the CTBS All-Stars—River City Slim, Phil Caron, and Joey Primo—Segal stepped right back into the groove, showcasing the tone, touch, and stage presence that made him a fixture with both the Albert Otis Blues Band and Garry & The Moodswingers.

The venue itself, affectionately known as The Chicken Shack, is a rustic barn with both indoor and outdoor seating, great food, and a full bar. The vibe is relaxed, the music is top-shelf, and the doors are wide open for jammers with instruments in hand. PA, drums, amps, and keys are all provided—just bring your talent.
