The King of the Blues, B.B. King

Tonight at the Lee Hall's Bettersworth Auditorium on Mississippi State University, the legendary blues musician will be taking the stage in front of a SOLD OUT audience. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. The show is part of the 2011-2012 Lyceum Series.

Hits such as "The Thrill is Gone," "Everyday I Have the Blues," and "Payin' the Cost to be the Boss" are sure to be crowd pleasers.

B.B. King was born near Itta Bena on September 16, 1925. Over the span of his career, he has recorded over 50 albums and many classics. He averages about 250 concerts a year all over the world. What an honor to have him in Starkville!
