Coup De Grace - 3/16
"Hip Hop is often referred to as the "Living Blues." There is a direct, obvious like that runs from Robert Johnson or Tampa Red through Louis Jordan, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley and on to James Brown, Kurtis Blow and Ice Cube. And through there are certainly ways in which Bo or Muddy are more like Mr. Red than like Mr. Cube, in a lot of ways they would sound more at theme in NWA than in Hokum Boys." - Elijah Wald
The Victory Grill in partnership with Chicago Hip Hop tastemakers, Across the Board present an diverse overview of the current hip hop scene across the U.S.
Austin's oldest Blues venue, The Victory Grill, opened in 1945 by Blues promoter Johnny Holmes, for African American WWII soldiers returning home. The venue was an anchor venue on the famous "Chitlin' Circuit," up until the mid 1960's and nurtured some of the Blues finest, including B.B. King, Bobby Bland. Grey Ghost, Blues Boy Hubbard, Billie Holiday, Al Green and Ike and Tina Turner.
68 years later, the venue continues to host a Monday night Blues Jam and supports up and coming Austin Urban talent.
