Crossroads Connection: Muddy Waters to ZZ Top
Delta Blues Museum invites you to join us as we kick off a new fundraising event series honoring musicians influenced by the Blues, demonstrating the power of Blues music and how it lives on in other genres.
The first “Crossroads Connection” will take place April 9, 2025, as part of our annual Muddy Waters Month celebration with our very special guest, Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top.
A free public event will be hosted at 2:00pm featuring performances from the DBM Student Band along with Mr. Gibbons. On hand will be other local and state dignitaries to help us thank Mr. Gibbons for his long-time support of the Museum and the music and culture of the Mississippi Delta.
A private, ticket event will follow featuring an intimate panel discussion and conversation with Mr. Gibbons, led by Delta Blues Ambassador and Blues legend Charlie Musselwhite. The discussion will focus on Muddy Waters’ influence on Mr. Gibbons life and musical career. A private reception will be held in the Museum Gallery, where guests will have a chance to meet this rock-and-roll icon and even take home a professional photo with Mr. Gibbons as a souvenir.
