Show-Me Blues in St. Louis
Welcome to Show-Me Blues!
Welcome to St. Louis where we like our blues like the weather . always
changing! We'll take you from jump blues to a slow sultry song. True to
its reputation, we will open our doors and show you the friendly
attitude St. Louis is known for and some of our favorite haunts.
St. Louis is back on the map and taking things back to basics. No
frills, just the good music, friendly faces, and hospitality St. Louis
is known for.
We're starting the weekend off early, Thursday night, with a pub crawl
in the best blues bars in St. Louis. Enjoy some good soul, listen to a
few of our local bands, then wrap up at Beale on Broadway for a preview
of the amazing Kim Massie.
We'll bring you some great music from DJs across the country without
competitions or lessons. As the weekend goes on you'll see we've saved
the best for last. An amazing dueling piano bar built for great sound
with great food and even better drinks. We'll bring you the incredible
Kim Massie, an exchange tradition and a St. Louis icon. Her voice will
blow you away with soul that gives Aretha a run for her money. By the
time you say goodbye you'll be calling St. Louis home.
