A. Schwab Jukejoint Weekend

Apr 13, 2026

A. Schwab Dry Goods Store was established in 1876 on historic Beale St in Memphis.
It was the oldest store in the Mid-South, located in the oldest remaining building on Beale Street. After 136 years of ownership, the Schwab family sold the business at the end of 2011.

This year they have announced a free weekend Juke Joint festival on July 18th and 19th.

A. Schwab wants to give back to the community that has not only made Memphis great, but that is also renown around the world. We are giving local musicians of all walks of life a space to play for FREE on the historic Beale Street!!!

Rattlesnake Whip is scheduled to play this historic first ever festival on July 18th at noon to 1:00 – Can you make it?
