Blind Willie's

Blind Willie's is a Jazz and Blues club in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta is known for its Jazz and Blues. The club is located at 828 North Highland Avenue in the Virginia Highland neighborhood. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday 7pm to 12:30am. The location is not for children but adults wishing to hear live music. The best nights are Friday and Saturday since the club fills up and the bands tend to be the best. There is a full bar and smoking is still allowed. Some of the bands are local, while others are brought in to visit Atlanta and play in the popular venue.

Blind Willie's has hosted more than 6,500 nights of music and have celebrated their 18th year. The house band is called the Shadows. The club was founded by Eric King and Roger Gregory. Gregory is part of the band as the bassist. Chicago Bob Nelson, JT Speed and Michael Catalano also helped to form the club working on the construction as well as playing at the club once it was open.

King has a background in 60s folk music and was traveling with Gregory before they opened the club; at the time crowds preferred blues over folk music. The joint venture allowed them to form a club that has been considered the club of the year many times.
