CRITIC’S PICK: Atlanta Blues Society Gathering and Jam

Recommended by Hal Horowitz as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks

Sun. May 17
Atlanta Blues Society Gathering and Jam
Napoleon’s

The host band is Red Sugar Blues, but that’s only a small part of these monthly confabs for local blues fans, musicians, and those who’d like to be either or both. The atmosphere is always congenial, newbies are welcomed, and this is the best way to hear about upcoming blues shows from Atlanta newcomers or established veterans. As the event’s name states, the closing jam is always a highlight, so those talented enough to hit the stage should bring their instruments (or voice) and let loose. — Hal Horowitz
