The Alley Club Presents… The Too Bad Jims
Nov 21 @ 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm

“A remarkable three-piece … they represent the real essence of blues music, unfiltered and immediate” Blues Matters Magazine, Jan 2025

The Too Bad Jims got their name from the seminal Fat Possum album “Too Bad Jim” by the hugely influential blues musician RL Burnside. The band plays a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie. Their unique and unusual combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, slashing bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove, delivers a hypnotic, raw, and earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint.
