The Blues Café came full circle in 2010 and it’s back where it started in the mid-1990’s, the historical Rothschild Pavilion. The event was initially put together by Tom Schlief, one of the original and longtime organizers of the Big Bull Falls Blues Festival. Uncle “Daddy” Marcus was the emcee of the event, originally designed to raise funds for the Marathon County Historical Society. The event ran for a couple of years and then disappeared. When the Great Northern Blues Society was formed in 1998, reviving the Blues Café was discussed as a way to raise money. It took a couple of years of planning to put on an event of its size, with the first “reincarnated” Café being held at Marathon Park’s Youth Building in 2000. The event took place there until 2008, when it was moved to the Stoney Creek Inn. When the Café takes place this year, it will be back once again, at the beautifully renovated Rothschild Pavilion.
