This is one of reasons we love this town!!
Funky, quirky and unique barely begins to describe Joe’s Cafe in St. Louis’s DeBaliviere community. Buried in a neighborhood, artist Bill Christman’s place is an intimate music venue, storefront, workshops and a garden filled with robots. The Cafe is strictly BYO. The only thing they are selling is music maybe once or twice a week.
Last night was extra special. The Blu City All Stars played. Big Mike Agiurre had returned to the Lou after a four year absence. He had gone to play a solo gig in the Caribbean when covid hit. At first he couldn’t come home. Then he didn’t come home. Now he has. What a joy.
Matt “The Rattlesnake” Lesch sat in with the band on guitar. He is a young rising star with his own band and a new album, “Blues Cut Like Glass,” that had just hit #1 on the blues charts. These five talented musicians were totally in sync.
