Home Team BBQ Lowcountry Blues Schedule

Home Team BBQ has built its brand on blues, bluegrass, and Americana/rock/country.  They have always honored the blues with a heavy rotation during the Lowcountry Blues Bash and was certainly disappointed that the long-running Charleston staple went on hiatus this year.  We all certainly hope Gary Erwin could revive his event for the future. Nevertheless, at Home Team BBQs, those first two weekends in February will always be ‘Blues Bash’.
