News and Announcements:
Our 3rd Annual AEBHF Rent Party was a huge success!
After a wonderful opening set by Spice Cake, headliners Matt Kelley & Ian Walters tore it up!
Check out their blazing rendition of the Bob Wills tune, 'My Window Faces South':
And we raised over $3500 to put towards our rent!
But since it costs about $550 a week just to keep going, we can always use more help.
Should you come to our weekly blues jams, please be generous with donations.
We also welcome online donations via PayPal.

Finding Archie's Barbershop
The Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation is located at:
4502 Hamilton Street
Hyattsville, MD 20781
There is limited parking behind the building and some street parking in the neighborhood. There are three public parking lots located within a block of the Barbershop.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
With few exceptions the Saturday jams take place from 1 to 5pm. Jams may be canceled due to bad weather or emergency. Should a major holiday fall on a Saturday there will likely be no jam. On very rare occasions, the jam may be held at a community event instead of the Barbershop.
Before setting out, please check the AEBHF Facebook page to check for any announcements that might affect the jam.
