Work begins soon to turn Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Fresno
in Granite Park, outside of Fresno, California, into the new Memphis
Blues' Barrel Room. The club will integrate a Memphis/New Orleans-theme
restaurant and music venue in Granite Park.
Memphis
Blues, which sits next door to Cabo Wabo, was the next restaurant
planned for Granite Park. Now the Memphis Blues brand will be expanded
to include the defunct Fresno Cabo Wabo.
The
concept for Memphis Blues is similar to the famed House of Blues
chain, which has a dozen dining/music venues around the country
in cities such as Las Vegas, New Orleans, Dallas, and Chicago, according
to the Fresno Bee.
A few
concerts are scheduled for the new venue in January: A January 8
date with the Tommy Castro Band, January 16-17 with Skynnyn Lynnyrd,
a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band, and an evening with Elvin Bishop
on January 22.
There
is no word whether this will affect the Cabo Wabo in Cabo San Lucas,
which is near legendary for great parties during the Legendary Rhythm
and Blues Cruise Pacific cruise.
