How Israel gets the blues. He sings, he writes his own songs, he plays a mean guitar, and he’s more than earned his title as Israel’s “king of blues rock.” Lazar Lloyd is one of the premier blues singers and guitarists on Israel’s music scene, has toured internationally and is now bringing his blues-rock sound to San Francisco for one night only.
Shows at 7 and 9 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23 at Biscuits and Blues, 401 Mason St., S.F. $20. www.biscuitsandblues.com/lazerlloyd
