About Us

The Mississippi Delta Blues Society of Indianola was formed in November 2003.  A group of Indianola blues enthusiasts had a vision when plans for the B.B. King Museum & Delta Interpretive Center and the Mississippi Blues Commission were in their early stages, also.  Indianola is the home of the Historic Club Ebony – Since 1945.  B.B. King now owns this famous blues club that he has been performing in for decades.             more info

Shepard to be Honored

The Mississippi Delta Blues Society of Indianola & Club Ebony are honoring Mary Frances Shepard, the retired long-time blues club proprietor, on Sunday, April 5.  Last year when Mrs. Shepard retired, Governor Barbour issued a Proclamation and declared April 6, 2008 – Mary Frances Shepard Day.  Mrs. Shepard was crowned “Queen of the Jooks” by the MDBSI in a Coronation Ceremony.  Family, friends, and many blues musicians celebrated this day with her at Club Ebony.

Mrs. Shepard ran Club Ebony for 34 years.  She had many renowned blues artists grace the stage in this blues club of over 60 years.  Details will be posted at “ Blues News Now” as they become available.
