Blues Alley Promo Codes May 2025 - 50% OFF

From its opening in May 1965, Blues Alley bandstand was involved five evenings per week by a similar main event: The Tommy Gwaltney Quartet (later renamed the Blues Alley Cats). They could play for as long as four hours in meandering aimlessly "trad" exhibitions, closer to stick sessions than fixed sets. In 1976, chief John Dimitriou thumped down the block divider separating the bar and execution space, changing over the parlor region into a fenced patio. "The spot never shut during those remodels," said Kris Ross, Bunyan's stepson, and Blues Alley's present supervisor. "They simply set up a covering and propped the music up!" Blues Alley turned into a visitor goal, as well. Guests from around the globe started reserving a spot without trying to ask who was playing. Here and there an entire visit transport worth of benefactors would fill the club.
