"Open Mic, Honky Tonk, and More: Discover Blockhouse Bar’s Heartbeat of Btown’s Music Scene" | S6E20

Tucked beneath the Back Door, and behind Atlas, the Blockhouse Bar has been hosting shows for ten years now and has made a name for themselves as one of Bloomington's premier music venues. Owner David James joins us to discuss Honky Tonk Tuesdays' popularity, his experience working at Farm and Uptown, and his solo music career, including writing credits on Durand Jones' newest solo album.
