NEXT EVENT: The Juke Joint Music Fest, Saturday April 17, 2010

Downtown Clarksdale
http://www.jukejointfestival.com/


Clarksdale, Mississippi is where I was raised and truly fits the definition of “small town.” As the “home of the Delta Blues,” Clarksdale is a mecca for those interested in the source of genuine blues music. People come from all over the world to immerse themselves in the unique culture of the Mississippi Delta and listen to the “real” blues (not that imitation “wannabe” blues you hear in big city bars and night clubs). Here are some of the great things Clarksdale has to offer to visitors…

Places of interest:


The Delta Blues Museum


Ground Zero Blues Club


Hopson Plantation


The Shack Up Inn


Isle of Capri Casino (Lula, MS)

Fine Southern Cuisine:


Madidi


Rust

GOOD EATS:


Ground Zero Blues Club


Abe’s BBQ


The Ranchero


Rest Haven


Atzimba’s Mexican Restaurant


The Dutch Oven


Hicks’ Hot Tamales

COMING SOON…
