San Diego slide guitarist Eric Sardinas is a cross between Johnny Winter and The Human Torch. I'm not kidding: The guy literally sets his guitar on fire. And whereas Hendrix knelt before his six string effigy to conjure the flames at Monterey, Sardinas continues to play. Fire hazard? Perhaps. A knockout show? Fo' sho'. This is juicy stuff for anyone who digs their blues loud and greasy.

Eric Sardinas plays Wednesday, March 11, at Dinosaur BBQ, 99 Court Street. 9:30. p.m. No cover. dinosaurbarbque.com; ericsardinas.co.uk.
