This will be a great show at a great bar. Since they opened, the Blue Bayou Club has been a destination for blues fans and musicians. Tab Benoit, Nappy Brown, Tommy Castro, Shamekia Copeland, Bob Margolin, Big Jack Johnson and more have graced this quaint Hillsborough stage and Hell Camino is just one more to add to the list. The Blue Bayou Club has felt the burn of the struggling economy but continues to bring blues acts to the people that love it. Go out and support the Blue Bayou and Hell Camino Sat. July 31st. We would all love to see this club be there for many years to come.
