About me: The Bradfordville Blues Club experience is like no other. It combines a truly unique location and atmosphere with the best the Blues has to offer. Hidden in a rural part of Tallahassee, the experience begins when you travel down the winding dirt roads and up the hill that lead to the Club.
Surrounded by fields of tall stalks of corn and old majestic oak trees dripping with moss, the one room cinder block "jook joint" has hosted an impressive list of nationally renowned Blues acts. The more than 50 original portraits autographed by the "Kings and Queens" of the Blues, which serve as table tops and wall hangings, attest to the quality of our entertainment. The Club is open on Friday and Saturday nights only and offers a good selection of ice-cold bottled beers and wine.
For the serious Blues fan the BBC has a different artist each weekend, usually with different touring acts on Friday and Saturday nights. Club appearances in the past have included such notables as James Cotton, Bobby Rush, the late Carey Bell, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Honeyboy Edwards, Magic Slim, Charlie Musselwhite, Johnny Winter, Maria Muldaur, Duke Robillard, Kenny Neal, Tommy Castro, Tab Benoit, Big Jack Johnson, Little Charlie & The Nightcats, Mark Hummell, Kim Wilson, Lee Roy Parnell, The Amazing Rhythm Aces, E.C. Scott, Eddie Kirkland, Johnnie Marshall, and a host of others.
The bonfire burns nightly under the large oaks and provides a warm romantic atmosphere. You can usually meet the artists as they too enjoy the rustic surroundings out by the fire or you can just sit back and relax during the set breaks. If you are hungry, try some of Ms. Ernestine's southern fried catfish or mullet. Its something to write home about! Please join us for a memorable Blues experience at the Bradfordville Blues Club.
Just follow the tiki torches down the dirt roads till you reach the juke joint under the stars. We'll keep the bonfire burning, the beer ice-cold and the music hot!

In a time when folks get jaded, not updating their pages on whatever, it is great to see your verve unfaltering, and everyone should support and herald your efforts. Take care, Billy. PS love the pics, keep 'em comin'.
The BBC irregulars are in for a treat Saturday 6/20! I saw Geoff Achison here in Atlanta last night, and he was very, very good.
You've booked Albert Castiglia for next month--thank you! I'll be there in my dancing shoes. If I see Sean Chambers and Todd Wolfe on your calendar, I'll be packing up and moving to Tallahassee!
ANOTHER fine weekend at the BBC! Is there ANYthing better than a clear summer night at your 'jook joint under the stars,' with Miss Ernestine's fried mullet outside, good people inside, and the Damon Fowler Group onstage? If so, I don't need to know about it; this past Saturday night was as perfect as life needs to be. Many thanks!
