On a cold Wednesday night in January we came here after we saw a flyer a blue cotton bake shop we needed to check bad apples blues club out. And we are so happy that we did! It was a very special hart touching night with a lot of live music and history about Clarksdale and the Blues. We got lucky with various artist coming in and playing very beautiful music with warm performances. My aunt and i are both touched by the place, the people, the music, the cute cat that stayed with us all night, it was a night to never forget. The owner Sean will make a great night for you even if you’re just with 4 people inside. We met some truly amazing artists and people. I am gonna miss the little girl Josephine who performed with her amazing brother and dad. She cuddled with me and the cat all night and told me amazing stories. If you are in Clarksdale, this is a must go!

BE SURE THE BAD APPLE BLUES CLUB IS ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES YOU GO WHEN YOU VISIT CLARKSDALE... !!!!!!!
Owner, Sean Apple, is a gifted storyteller, musician, entertainer, educator, and a most gracious host. During his three-hour show he demonstrates various styles of music from the delta, talks about important blues men and women from the area, tells a few jokes, has fun with the audience, and will personally serve you a chilly beer or glass of wine to enjoy during the show.
The modern day juke joint Sean has created sets the authentic mood and vibe you came to the delta hoping to find. Our time at the Bad Apple Blues Club was filled with music and a ton of fun. The music was fantastic, the show entertaining, and Sean Apple is a delight. We had a great time!! Do yourself a favor and don’t miss one of the best experiences in town at the Bad Apple Blues Club!!

Shaun Apple is great! The place looks like a dive but give it a chance. Shaun is a historian on blues music. It’s a small venue and he tells the patrons about the aspects of old blues genres. Plus he’s a wonderful player. Just a great place. Good job Bad Apple!!

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
This is why we came to Clarksdale - authentic blues and history! Well we found the experience of a lifetime right here with Sean "Bad" Apple !
We rolled into Clarksdale on a Thursday excited about the museum and Ground Zero and Cat Head of course , but we found Soo much more to be excited about - we saw his sign for live music from 3-6 outside of his location next door to Cathead - Bad Apple Blues and Arts Center , and decided to stop and let me tell you, it was the best decision..
Sean is a one man band, historian, story teller , comedian and one hell of a blues musician . We learned, we laughed and left wanting more !
We now have a new appreciation for the blues , for the great men and women of blues , we shall go home and listen to our blues albums with a new understanding of the styles and sounds .
Go to Clarksdale, go to either of Bad Apple's locations - you will not regret it - This is priceless!
Thank you Sean, we can't wait to come back!
A MUST DO IN CLARKSDALE - BEST OF THE BEST !!
This blew away our experience at Ground Zero - Bad Apple is authentic and a blues lover's dream!

This was exactly the experience my husband and I were looking for in Clarksdale! We are not musicians, but were looking to expand our understanding of the Blues and its roots. “Bad Apple” Sean played different types of Blues pieces along and gave explanations of their background and differences. Enjoyment plus education! Plus we were fortunate to hear some soulful pieces from Lucius Spiller, a consummate Blues musician, who happened to show up. An altogether fun and enjoyable afternoon.

We walked into Bad Apple and immediately knew this was going to be a wonderful experience. Sean Apple creates a friendly almost family atmosphere while giving detailed history of blues and the musicians. The music was great! Everyone relaxed and laughed. Great place to renew your soul!

Sean Apple owner of the Bad Apple Blues Club, put on a great show filled with great music and personal accounts of playing beside some of Clarksdale's most famous Blues acts. Not many in attendance for a 3:00 PM show on a Wednesday. Having Sean serve beer in between songs at first seemed odd, but it is a perfect example of an artist doing whatever it takes to realize a dream.

This is one of the most unique experiences in Clarksdale! Sean Apple is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. His 3 hour show is close and personal. History of blues guitar styles, the Clarksdale area and the evolution of the blues from the original delta blues. The atmosphere of his juke joint takes you back in time and leaves the world outside for a few hours. Fantastic!!!
