The undisputed king of electric
blues is scheduled to play to a
packed audience Friday night at
Centennial Hall.

BB King is one of the most well-
known living blues musicians in
the world, and certainly the most
famous person to ever come out
of the tiny town of Itta Bena,
Miss.

The 2000 census pegged Itta
Bena's population at about 4,000
residents living within a 1.5
square mile area.

Yet the town still managed to
make it into the 2000 Coen
brothers film, "O Brother, Where
Art Thou?"

In the movie, a notorious
gangster terrorizing the the
Deep South stops George
Clooney's character Everett and
his crew and asks them how to
get to Itta Bena.

Name the gangster and the
actor who played him for a
chance to win a set of three
cookbooks.

The Orange County-based band Limbeck will play at the Rialto Theatre.
Bryan Sheffield
Meet some musicians
• Sample the sounds of many of the musical acts, read pre-event interviews, see video of the bands and watch trailers of films being screened at the film fest, and more at aznightbuzz.com
• Submit your photos from the Congress birthday party at photos.aznightbuzz.com/gallery
• Vic Chesnutt is a prolific singer/songwriter from Atlanta. He's also a big fan and associate of Giant Sand's Howe Gelb. "That dude is a huge, huge influence on me," Chesnutt recently told aznightbuzz's Daysleeper blog. "It's hard to downplay his influence on me. Before I met him in 1990, I loved Giant Sand. He's one of my favorite lyric writers ever."
• Loud, raucous and always outspoken, punk icon and spoken-word artist Jello Biafra last came through town on the Punk Voter tour on the eve of the 2004 presidential elections.
• Orange County-based band Limbeck makes fun, jingly alt-country pop tunes inspired by life on the road. The hard touring band even has a song called "Comin' From Tucson" on its 2003 album "Hi, Everything's Great."
• Over six albums, Austin, Texas-based rocker Ian Moore has slowly neglected his bluesy rock roots in favor of an adventurous sound that embraces everything from spirited alt-country and folk to psychedelic Beatle-esque pop.
