Barbecue Bob and the Spareribs played for the first time in 1981 during a music festival at Columbia University in New York City. Acoustic shows on the coffee house ciruit followed, and after this brief phase, the band plugged in and started playing rock and blues bars, mostly in and around New York City. They opened for national blues act at the famous Lone Star Café and then found a home at The Rodeo Bar which is still their NYC mainstay. The Spareribs make frequent appearances at clubs and festivals in the greater New York area, in Ohio, and have a regular show at Madam’s Organ in Washington, D.C. They have seven records on the DaDa Records label, the forthcoming release titled “Go Down South.”
