Wichita Blues Crawl in Old Town

Sharing is caring!

Get ready for the Wichita Blues Crawl, which will take place at five different venues in Wichita Old Town. It’s a great time with great music, and you won’t want to miss it. What’s the Blues Crawl?  It’s a fundraiser for the Wichita Blues Society, an organization of blues fans dedicated to keeping the blues alive!

My husband and I attended one year with some friends. Not only did we enjoy the music, it was also an opportunity to discover some of the Old Town venues we had never been to. The Wichita Blues Crawl is held twice a year and showcases a variety of styles that make up the blues genre.

Twenty dollars for all of the bands is a great deal. This is hands down one of the best ways to spend a Sunday evening in Wichita! Your ticket is good for all cubs/bands plus the afterparty.

Wichita Blues Crawl Date: Sunday, April 27, 2025

Time: 3-9 pm

Locaitons for the Blues Crawl:

  • Barleycorn’s – George Sanders Blues Band
  • Brickyard – Cleveland Blue
  • Mort’s – Lonesome Stranger
  • Walker’s Jazz Lounge – Ms Lady Dee & the Shadow Daddy’s
  • Emerson Biggins – Made From Scratch

All of the venues are within easy walking distance of each other, and the Old Town Plaza is pretty much centrally located, so you may want to find parking there or in the lot just south of it on Douglas Ave. (between Rock Island and Mosley).

Blues Crawl After Party: 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. with KC Blues from Nick Schnebelen!

Cost: $20. Wrist bands will be available for CASH at each of the venues.  If you need use a credit card you will want to stop by our Wichita Blues Society Tent set up in the Old Town Farmer’s Market area. 

The crawl is a fundraiser for the non-profit Wichita Blues Society, which aims to revitalize the blues scene in Wichita. The Wichita Blues Society is a non-profit organization.   wichitablues.org

    1. Right on! It’s really like therapy to have a whole evening of just listening to musicians and hanging with your friends. Cheaper than therapy too! 🙂

  12. A great way to start off our vacation week, and we don’t even have to leave town to hear some great music. Heck, we don’t even have to leave our neighborhood!
