Robert Lighthouse Plays Live at Back Room Blues (2025-11-13)

9pm Blues Dance with live music by Robert Lighthouse! $15 entry at the door includes: An all-levels, beginner-friendly lesson in blues dance foundations taught by Capital Blues staff at 8:15pm. No partner or prior experience is required! If you can, wear shoes that can slide. Please avoid wearing strong fragrances. Most people come to dance with everyone there (but if you'd prefer to stick with one person that's okay too). Robert Lighthouse, a native of Sweden, first came to the United States at the age of 18, determined to learn more about the music he loves - Mississippi Delta Blues. For eight years he traveled around the country visiting blues Meccas like Chicago's famed Maxwell Street and New Orleans, the cradle of the blues. He settled in Washington, DC in 1988 and established a cult following as a street musician. He toured Belgium and Holland with the Charlie Sayles Band and then landed his own steady gig at City Blues Cafe in D.C. Robert's simultaneous work on guitar and harmonica on has received rave reviews in major blues publications throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. It's been said he "...plays delta blues like the great masters."
