“Anything Bentonia Blues™.” To foster communication among those who love and appreciate the Bentonia School of Delta Blues. |
“It’s the Real Deal!™” Bentonia Blues dot com™ (bentoniablues.com™) is the official website for the Bentonia School of Country Blues, the annual Bentonia Blues Festival™ and Bentonia Blues Society™’s online forum. Bentonia was the hometown of Henry Stuckey, founder of the Bentonia style of Blues, and his two famous students, Skip James and Jack Owens. Bentonia is also home of the historic Blue Front Café where owner Jimmy “Duck” Holmes keeps it authentic, especially when he breaks out his box for an impromptu performance. Check back often for the latest news about some of the most unusual and authentic Mississippi Delta Blues still performed in the exact location where it originated.
