Ground Zero (blues club)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ground Zero is a blues club in Clarksdale, Mississippi that is co-owned by Morgan Freeman and local attorney Bill Luckett. It got its name from the fact that Clarksdale has been historically referred to as "Ground Zero" for the blues. It opened in 2001 and is located right next to the Delta Blues Museum.
The menu consists of traditional southern foods, and the restaurant has live blues music playing every weekend. Super Chikan and Bill Perry are two of the most frequent and well-known performers. In addition to the food and music, there is an upstairs apartment that can be rented out to customers who would like to live the blues experience 24 hours a day.
Ground Zero has appeared in many different television shows and publications, including 60 Minutes, National Geographic, and USA Today.
