Hoppie Vaughan's voice is surprising. Surprisingly awesome. Seriously. He and his band, the Ministers of Soul, specialize in Cajun blues, Southern blues, deep blues, and, well, you get the point. They're bluesy. They're playing tonight as part of the Ellington Presents series at the aptly named Glass House on Jefferson Street. They've been an Ellington staple for the better part of a decade now, according to Ellington board member Matt Cothran, and they tend to draw a crowd. The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance; $15 at the door. It's a 21-plus show, with full bar service. The Glass House is at 1019 Jefferson St.; call (434) 616-3421 for tickets and more info, or visit the    Ellington website   .
