Triangle area venues featuring blues
The Blue Bayou Club
Bringing the best in local and national blues entertainment, The Blue Bayou Club is a true down home juke joint where people can find connection with each other and enjoy live music. It is a friendly place like a gathering place oughta be. Leave your worries at the door, dance if you want, hang out and feel young again. They have the friendliest staff, and the best music around. Well worth the price of a babysitter. They may be small but we have a big heart. The Blue Bayou hosts the Blue Tuesday Blues Jam every other week with Butch Haas.

Papa Mojo's Roadhouse
If you've ever had Mel Melton's cajun cookin' during one of his shows, this is the news you've been waiting for: he's opened his own place!! Now serving lunch (11am-3pm) and dinner (5pm-10pm) six days a week closed Sundays). Mel Melton don't let nobody go hungry, so there's also great bar food 'tween lunch and dinner, and a killer late night
menu. Having indulged in several PMR items, I can testify that it's among the tastiest and most pleasing cuisine you'll ever eat. And you always get to enjoy the food and music in a smoke-free environment!!
