The World Famous Buckingham Blues Bar will begin its 23rd year of operation during the month of November. We have brought the best in original, live Blues to Southwest Florida since its inception in 2002. Acts like Delbert McClinton, Albert Castiglia, and Selwyn Birchwood, to name a few international acts, have graced our inside and outside stages.
The outside season, the “Backyard Blues Festival,” runs from October through May, with two to three shows on the schedule each month. These Saturday shows begin at 2 pm and finish at 7 pm. Three World-Class acts perform at each event for audiences of up to 1,000 people. We also do inside shows throughout the year. This up-close, personal, 100-person setting is perfect for an intimate evening of live music.
Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons have become a staple for fans to enjoy our incredible open stage with The Buckingham Blues Band as host. Patrons come from all over the World to hang out and enjoy the magic of these impromptu moments on stage. We never know what will happen, but it is always extraordinarily good.
Upcoming shows through December include Albert Castiglia Band, The Lucky Losers, Damon Fowler, Jimmy Carpenter, Little Ed and The Imperials, EG Kight, Selwyn Birchwood, Memphis Lightning, Tas Cru, Sandy Atkinson, Betty Fox, and our favorite, JJ Grey and Mofro on December 5th. 2025 is shaping up to be a stellar year for acts, too.
