Blind Boy and Bill, from the Four Corners and Las Vegas, respectively, are a couple of white guys trying to keep the blues alive. Blind Boy and Bill discovered a mutual love and admiration of all things bluesy and swampy, when Blind Boy ) also know as Stanley Maynard McNeil, sought out Bill Reigel to build a guitar that could play the music he was hearing in his head. Reigel came highly recommended, and a couple of chance jam session encounters later, and the die was cast. That was 20 years ago. After a long, hiatus the boys are back and ready to blow your socks off.
“Tastes Like Friday” cocktails and specials to be served.
