CLARKSDALE: Special blues weekend in lieu of The Biscuit

Posted on by demo
Sadly, our friends in nearby Helena, AR, had to postpone their big King Biscuit Blues Fest due to the pandemic. Fortunately, we already have ‘live’ blues music 7 days a week in Clarksdale, MS, so if you’ve already bought the plane tix or gassed up the family truckster, then c’mon to the Crossroads, y’all! For the schedule of blues and more, please watch the Music Calendar (scroll down past “Sounds Around Town” to the dates) at www.cathead.biz/music-calendar.
