Our Featured Clubs
BB's Lawnside BBQ
BB's
Lawnside BBQ is "Not Renovated" and "Under Old
Management"... and thank the Blues AND Barbeque gods for blessing Kansas
City with Lindsey Shannon, the "old management" that hasn't renovated
BB's Lawnside BBQ! Both the BBQ and the Blues that are served up at BBs
are smokin'! From local Blues jams to national Blues acts, you can always count
on great music, cold beer, and tasty barbeque at BB's Lawnside BBQ.
Lindsey is also the host of the Kansas City Blues
Show every Sunday night on 101.1 FM KCFX, where he has been introducing the
Blues to rockers for over 16 years. His dedication to the Blues is legendary,
and he hosts several benefits each year, helping everyone from the families of
deceased Blues musicians to battered women shelters.
BB's Lawnside BBQ is located at 1205 East 85th
Street, Kansas City, MO 64131. Call (816) 8BB-RIBS to place to-go orders or see

Knuckleheads Saloon
Knuckleheads is our newest
addition to our featured clubs listing, but Frank and the crew have really
earned it. They picked up the slack when the GE went "martini
bar" on us Blues Addicts, bringing in national acts like Roomful of
Blues, Michael Burks, Janiva Magness, Anthony Gomes, Watermelon Slim,
Chris Duarte, and Leon Russell.
Knuckleheads is a challenge to
find, located at 2700 Rochester, Kansas City, MO 64120. Our best advice is
to visit www.KnuckleheadsKC.com
and check out their directions, or call them at (816) 483-6320.
The Grand Emporium
R.I.P.
From
1985 to 2004, The Grand Emporium served up national, regional, and local
Blues, reggae, rock, zydeco, jazz, and swing music. Twice honored as
"Best Blues Club in America" by the Blues Foundation, The GE was
known worldwide for their "wall of fame", pictures and playbills
of artists who have appeared at this 'Blues Mecca' over the years.
Unfortunately, Roger Naber sold The GE to a
rock club owner, who immediately screwed everything up by covering over
the "wall of fame" and turning the place into a martini bar.
While they occasionally bring in some Blues acts, their schedule and the
new "ambiance" gives us the Blues.
Roger Naber, past owner of The Grand Emporium,
is the host of the Legendary
Rhythm and Blues Cruise.
The Grand Emporium is located at 3832 Main
Street, Kansas City, MO 64111. Call their concert hotline at (816)
531-1504 for more info. You can also check out The Grand Emporium web site
at www.grandemporium.com.
