Hard to believe, but it's December already. The holidays loom and the blues continues to bloom!
Don't forget that a blues CD/LP/cassette/8-track makes a wonderful gift - especially if autographed by the artist (HINT: go to a show and buy the band's CD!)...so just do it, OK?
Cascading into this festive season, we offer you the following suggestions for LIVE BLUES in the eastern part of South Carolina:

This is the old brick church (now a club/bar/resto) in the heart of it all!
Great food, drink specials and ambience....Charleston funk under one roof.
Piano blues & boogie, meditative ballads, and swampy escapism...come on!

Yes, this is the old White Horse Tavern, located in what is now the Day's Inn, a place with tons of debauch history.
Cool little pub with folks stumbling in from all over the world. And the food is excellent! This is the Heart of Charleston and Shrimp City Slim rolls the 88s for bottomless mimosa lovers and mo'...see you there!
