 Founded by St. Louis native and lead guitarist Gary “Dee Dee” James, Dirty Muggs could arguably be the hardest working local band around. Their high energy shows have been thrilling audiences at diverse events and venues such as Twilight Tuesday, Syberg’s, Patrick’s at Westport, and Helen Fitzgerald’s. They perform everything from 70s soul to today’s Top 40 hits with their own signature brand of funk, leaving a packed dance floor of sweaty, happy revelers in their wake.

 If you find yourself dining out at one of the many great restaurants in the Central West End and are looking for some good post-dinner entertainment on a Friday or Saturday evening look no further than The Chase Park Plaza. Café Eau and Chasers Lounge are great places within the hotel/condo/restaurant and movie theater complex with two different vibes. At night, Café Eau transforms from being the more casual version of its sister restaurant Eau Bistro into a hot spot that hosts many of St. Louis’ best party and cover bands. With great people watching opportunities (especially in the spring and summer when the action spreads out to the poolside patio), delish drinks and appetizers, and the chance to get your groove on. If you are in the mood for a more chilled out scene, Chasers Lounge is in the lobby across from the movie theater. There, you will find a piano player or a jazz trio providing a gentle backdrop to conversation with your friends. Plus, those very comfy seats were made for lingering over a classic cocktail.
 Locals don’t know why St. Louis is never mentioned as a hotbed of blues music. After all, W.C. Handy immortalized our city in his composition “St. Louis Blues” in 1914, we have a hockey team that shares a name with the song, and (much to the dismay of Memphis and Chicago) we will be home to the National Blues Museum in 2014. Let’s give us our due! If you travel to downtown St. Louis on South Broadway Ave, you will find local blues hangouts Beale on Broadway, Broadway Oyster Bar, and BB’s Jazz Blues and Soups. This “Broadway Blues Triangle”, as it is affectionately known, offers live music from local and national acts, good Creole/Cajun food, and plenty of lively libations. St. Louis gives you ‘the blues’ in the best way possible!
