Ground Zero Blues Club

Ground Zero is a blues club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, US that is co-owned by Morgan Freeman, Memphis entertainment executive Howard Stovall, and businessman Eric Meier.

In the style of juke joints, it is in a repurposed, un-remodeled building, vacant for 30 years, that had housed the wholesale Delta Grocery and Cotton Co.[5] Mismatched chairs, Christmas-tree lights, and graffiti greet one everywhere.

Blues fans in Clarksdale welcomed it as a place where local musicians have a chance to work regularly.

[6] The menu consists of traditional Southern foods, and the restaurant has live blues music playing Wednesday through Saturday.

[7][8][9] Considered to be in the birthplace of the blues, Ground Zero has hosted local, national, and international performers.
