Char's Has The Blues

Phoenix might not seem like a very good place to hear blues, but the city is made up of transplants who have relocated here, and many of them are from Chicago or other spots along the blues migration trail; from Mississippi to Chicago. There are a couple places in Phoenix that offer blues, but this is my favorite. It’s small, dark, a bit dingy, and has great music. I used to go hear Chico Chisholm here, an elderly bluesman who had played with some of the greats in his youth. There’s a small dancefloor that gets very crowded as almost everyone gets out there at some point. Fun place. Most nights no cover charge.
