Our jam at The Key STL

BluesForever.org brought the NBM Alumni Jam to The Key STL Burger Bar & Boogie on June 6th from 6:30-10pm!

The energy behind this NBM Alumni Jam came from all the musicians who played the Legends Room during the 2016-2026 decade of the National Blues Museum! Having that international cultural attraction here in St. Louis – a live music City going back to the Ragtime & early Blues era – naturally meant that many St. Louis musicians would join the ranks of the NBM Alumni.

The National Blues Museum sudden closing left behind a legacy known as the NBM Alumni Jammers, and like the Mississippi river, the NBM Alumni list runs long and deep. If you were there on June 6th at The Key STL to witness the magic that is known as the NBM Alumni Jam, you know the music endures!

June 6th featured: Teec’a Easby • Joe Metzka • Silky Sol • Wendy Gordon • Cole Allen • Chris Shepherd • Hy-C • Uvee Hayes • Skeet Rodgers • Matt Lesch • Jake Curtis • Dave Smith • Jason Cooper • John Logan • Andy Lewis • Nick Ayala • Ron Roskowske • Joe Pastor • Richard James Marlen • Eugene Johnson • Frank Dunbar • Peter Danza • Bill Edwards • Marty Spikener • Brad Hampton • Rodrigo Reis • Chuck Loeb • Jim McClaren • Gary Underwood • Mello George, and more!

Enjoy our NBM Alumni showcase at The Key STL!
