Taste of Blues

October 2025

Guests stepped into Taste of Blues, an immersive celebration of Southern blues culture inspired by Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.

From live music and soul-stirring performances to Southern-inspired eats and raw storytelling, the juke joint came alive with rhythm, flavor, and unforgettable energy—creating a night rooted in culture, sound, and shared experience.

We’re honored to have partner with the Piedmont Blues Preservation Society, a nonprofit dedicated to engaging communities with Blues as culture. Through education, performance, and cultural storytelling, they preserve the legacy of this art form while inspiring new generations to keep the Blues alive.
