The bar was very dim, so I had to turn the ISO way up, which led to the pictures being extremely grainy. The graininess was causing any editing to make the faces look blotchy, but I tried to reduce that as much as I could. Anyway, it's a personal bias, but I think blues bands should always be filmed in contrasty b&w like the iconic pictures of blues musicians from the 40's and 50's. This the lighting was not condusive to getting that same look, I could at least try for a period feel.

Contrasty B&W with a border, progessive blurring, image fading, and the show info.
