Home Team BBQ has built its brand on blues, bluegrass, and Americana/rock/country. They have always honored the blues with a heavy rotation during the Lowcountry Blues Bash and was certainly disappointed that the long-running Charleston staple went on hiatus this year. We all certainly hope Gary Erwin could revive his event for the future. Nevertheless, at Home Team BBQs, those first two weekends in February will always be ‘Blues Bash’.
Down Home Blues Open Mic and Guitar Clinic with bluesman Steve Cheseborough will take place on Tuesdays, November 23, 30 and December 7 at Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ, located at 2209 Middle Street on Sullivan’s Island. At 6pm, guests can meet and greet with Steve and receive a brief blues lesson and then at 7pm can get on stage to sing the blues or listen to others during the blues open mic until 8pm. The evenings will wind up with a set from the master himself from about 9-10pm. These are nights to come sing us the blues, get a lesson in how to play them or just sit back and listen while enjoying award-winning BBQ and fine libations such as the famous frozen painkiller!
Bluesman, author, and professor, Steve Cheseborough is steeped in the music of Memphis Minnie, Muddy Waters, Charley Jordan, Bo Carter, Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Lemon Jefferson and the other great blues artists and works from their original recordings as well as his experience in Delta juke joints. Steve Cheseborough plays the 1920s-30s-style acoustic blues, sounding eerily like an old 78 record, but without the scratches.
