Barbara Blue

Known as “The Reigning Queen of Beale,” Barbara Blue has been regularly performing on the iconic street for 25 years, intertwining blues, R&B, soul, and Americana. A recipient of a Beale Street Brass Note, she is often found at Silky O’ Sullivan’s, but has also found the time to record an astounding 13 independent releases and to take her show around the world. From her gritty urban blues to her saucy Memphis soul, Ms. Blue is so much more than just a “singer” — she is an authentic blues master who has helped to keep the spirit of Beale Street alive.
