The importance of Rudy Ray Moore movies in the blaxploitation genre cannot be overlooked. Not only have these films had a lasting impact on pop culture, especially in the African-American community, but they feature bizarre martial arts battles, lots of naked women, unintentional humor, and enough rhymin’ to make a rapper blush. Every Tuesday in June, Papa Mojo’s Roadhouse will be featuring Dinner and a Movie featuring the Films of Rudy Ray Moore. 
Brett Chambers is a multitalented musician, educator, and entrepreneur, he ran an Open Mic in downtown Durham for over 10 years, and now is the leader of the most popular Open Mic in the Triangle area held at Papa Mojo’s Roadhouse on Wednesday nights. The Usual Suspects are the tight band that backs up the open mic nights and they will be making a special Saturday night appearance at the roadhouse. Performing jazz, blues, R&B Classics, and a little of everything else, they run the gamut with style that shows off their veteran professionalism. 
SUNDAY – JUNE 2 - NO COVER
Drenched with the sounds of New Orleans, Adrian Duke’s piano is overshadowed only by the raw emotional power of his voice. Duke has reached out musically and moved past being known “just” as a blues artist and easily cultivates Blues, Funk, R&B, and Jazz into his musical signature. He has cultivated a tremendously loyal following in and beyond the Blues music communities, headlining shows in Ashville, NC at the Bele Chere Festival, The Charleston Jazz Festival and warming up for such diverse artists as Little Feat, Neville Brothers, Little River Band, Delbert McClinton, Hall & Oates, Garth Brooks, Chicago, Kansas, and his earliest musical influence, Dr. John.

This Atlanta-based band combines the delta blues with roots rock, country and funky slide guitars. And with a live show second-to-none, the dual slide guitars of Delta Moon carry the listener deep into the heart of the American South, where sinuous Mississippi blues meets the gritty backwoods twang of Appalachia and winds around a rock-steady beat like kudzu on a barbwire fence. Net Rhythms calls it “Music as it should be – raw and honest.” We call it Blues-Infused American Roots. Backed by a rock solid rhythm section, Delta Moon soon began picking up steam as they gathered a wall full of “best” awards, including winning the 2003 International Blues Challenge. The band’s work ethic of constant recording and touring has made them even stronger and we are always happy to see them come our way!
