CBS is proud to call The Double Door Inn home. The Double Door Inn, winner of the 1994 Keeping the Blues Alive award from The Blues Foundation, is located at 218 E. Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC (704-376-1446) Over the past 30 plus years, the DDI's stage lights have shined on Willie Dixon, Koko Taylor, Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials, Marcia Ball, Saffire ~The Uppity Blues Women, Lonnie Brooks, Eddy "the Chief" Clearwater, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Luther Allison, just to name a few. (And that doesn't even include the countless local and regional performers who otherwise would not have had a stage to stand on.)
