Catch a Show
Experience that other kind of blues firsthand at some of the most beloved venues in town. Grab a po’ boy and hear a band at Blues City Deli. In Webster Groves, Highway 61 Roadhouse offers a colorful atmosphere and live music on weekends. Near downtown, the mosaic-clad patio at Broadway Oyster Bar hosts live music every day, with two shows each day except Friday. And next door, inside a historic building, is BB’s Jazz, Blues & Soups.

Relive the Blues’ historic championship season with a visit to the museum’s upper level, where a banner emblazoned with “History Made” hangs above game-worn gear and memorabilia: goalie Jordan Binnington’s leg pads, MVP Ryan O’Reilly’s jersey, and the four Game 7 scoring pucks that helped the team bring home the Stanley Cup.
Learn about the Father of the Blues, W.C. Handy, who wrote the song that inspired the team’s name. Launched at the Mercantile Exchange in 2016, the museum tells the story of the genre, from its African origins to its widespread influence on popular music of all forms. Besides learning about the greats, both in St. Louis and beyond, visitors can play in a jug band, create their own blues songs, and take in a show at the Lumière Place Legends Room.
