Don’t miss Li’l Jimmy Reed, the last of the original Louisiana bluesmen in downtown Dothan Al at Circle City Brewing.

The blues was born in the deep South, a wild outcry against segregation, poverty, and hard, back-breaking work. Sadly, most great musicians who created this vibrant, influential music have passed on, leaving only their recordings to testify to their genius. However, one man, whose career stretches back to when rhythm ‘n’ blues was just bursting onto the popular music scene, is still with us and playing better than ever.
