Concept
Blue 5 began as a desire to bring live blues and jazz to Roanoke's Downtown night scene. The idea quickly evolved into providing an environment where young and old could enjoy live music and great food in a non-smoking downtown setting. General Manager Kerry Hurley and a team of local partners, including his wife Cynthia Parra-Hurley, put their heads and skills together to create Blue 5.

Food First
Although a lot of attention was paid to creating a truly unique and musically inspired venue, quality food is always our top priority. Our menu is a mix of southern inspired creations including: pastas, seafood, steaks, catfish, collard greens, grits and more. We try to incorporate traditional southern dishes while also creating non-traditional dishes with a southern twist.

Live Music
A veteran blues performer, Kerry Hurley and The Fat Daddy Band have traveled the east coast for the past 10 years exciting audiences all over. Kerry uses this experience and knowledge to help create a musician friendly environment designed to attract large and small acts. It's not always blues and jazz that you'll find at Blue 5, but it will always be good soulful music.
