Charly's Pub in Flagstaff
Inducted in 2021
The historic Weatherford Hotel in Flagstaff has
been owned and operated by Henry Taylor and
Pamela “Sam” Green since 1981. Charly’s,
the hotel’s street-level nightclub, became
Northern Arizona’s Home of the Blues in 1983,
when future ABHOF members Steve Willis and Tommy
Dukes started the Monday Night Blues Jam with
John Willis, Charlie Mossman and Dave
Duncan. The jam is still running
today. Other ABHOF members involved have
included Hank Tomlin and Bob Blazi.
Charly’s has also been a reliable base for
touring musicians such as Jimmy Rogers, James
Harman and Philip Walker, as well as Southern
ABHOF members Hans Olson, Bob Corritore, John
Rapp and many more. Blues music continues
to be featured in regular shows by the Monday
Night Blues Band and S.E. Willis’ piano
nights. Venues that regularly feature
Blues are becoming rarer all the time—we should
support the efforts of owners such as Henry
Taylor and Sam Green.
