Bay Ridge sings the weekend blues

Bay Ridge has got the blues!

Thundering drums and searing guitars will fill the neighborhood this weekend as acts drawing from one of America’s oldest musical traditions flood the 11209.

On Friday, tumble down to Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets) for a set of musical acrobatics by Blues Circus at 10 pm.

If you want to hit some blue notes of your own, flap over to Three Jolly Pigeons (6802 Third Ave. between 68th Street and Bay Ridge Avenue) where karaoke jockey Jukebox Johnny will spin the hits you want to croon to starting at 10 pm.

On Saturday, the Bennett Brothers will channel their sibling rivalry into an afternoon of hard-driving blues at the Leif Bar (6725 Fifth Ave. between 67th and Senator streets) starting at 4 pm.

Then drop by Schnitzel Haus (7319 Fifth Ave. between 73rd and 74th streets) to catch classic-rockers Cherry Bomb detonate a sonic supernova at 9:30 pm.

If you haven’t already had your fill of AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin — some of the all-time greatest thieves of black American music — you’ll have one more chance to reap their rewards when Rock Farm takes the stage at No Quarter (8015 Fifth Ave, between 80th and 81st streets) at 10 pm.
