Owner Regina Charboneau, who has a restaurant around the corner, opened this venue in January, 1995. It was her goal to open a blues club that also had good food, as opposed to a restaurant that also did the blues. The difference is key. The bands which the club books have to have at least one CD in release, making for a nice mix of original music and covers of old standards. The music is strictly blues and runs the range from Mississippi delta blues to Chicago-style blues and Rock blues.
Some months focus on a specific aspect of the genre, such as women in blues or gospel blues.
Along with the good music, you get tasty Southern cooking. All of the entrees come with Regina's signature biscuits. Danny Glover helped Regina with the fried chicken recipe, and it appears he knows a thing or two about food. The decor brings Bourbon Street to mind. Votive candles on the tables and lined up on shelves along the walls provide the soft lighting.
