Opened in 1973, The Double Door Inn in Charlotte, NC served as a touchstone for blues, rock, zydeco, and reggae musicians around the world.

Music royalty, including Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Koko Taylor, and J. J. Cale, as well as countless local legends, graced the stage in this converted house.

Sadly, economic pressures caused the club to close in 2017.
