The New Orleans themed venue provided the perfect spot for hearing some once in a lifetime performances. Native sons, The Nighthawks, started the party and Rufus went for the stage as soon as he strolled in the door. The After Party show was non-stop with Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Taj Mahal and Bobby Rush all jumping up on stage. JB and the Midnighters were joined by Gibson Musical Instruments CEO Henry Juszkiewicz on guitar and Blues Foundation Executive Director Howard Stovall on keyboards. Washington D.C. experienced a night with the Blues that will go down in history.
Plans are already underway for next year s event.
