SUMMARY: Club Ebony, a historic blues bar in Indianola, Mississippi, has reopened after a year of renovations. The club, now part of the B.B. King Museum, originally opened in 1943 and was a part of the “Chitlin' Circuit,” a collection of performance venues that embraced African American culture. The updated venue retains original features, and now has a new kitchen, “green room,” and an elevated stage. The reopening weekend included performances from award-winning musicians such as Susan Tedeschi, Tony Coleman, and Mr. Sipp.
