Bay Saint Louis, MS – Blues Artist of the year, performer of the year, album of the year - blues artist Mike Zito will play 100 Men Hall for one night only on Friday, October 30, 2026 at 6:30PM. Jesse Loya & The House Katz will open. There is a costume contest! Food for purchase by Alligator Mike and a cash/credit bar. This is an Alligator Mike Promotion.
Zito is a powerhouse in modern blues rock. He’s an artist whose gritty guitar work, deeply human songwriting, and magnetic stage presence have made him a defining force in the genre. From smoke-filled bars in East St. Louis to major festival stages around the world, Mike has built a career on emotional honesty, fearless playing, and an unshakable commitment to the song.
“MIKE ZITO THROWS HIMSELF INTO HIS WORK, EMBRACING BLUES THEMES OF LOVE AND LOSS WHILE LEANING INTO THE HEALING POWER OF MAKING MUSIC.”

Jesse Loya & The House Katz - Jesse Loya has been playing guitar since the age of 10. Growing up, he worked in any band he could get and explored every genre on the way. He discovered the Blues early on and things haven't been the same since. The Blues are his passion. With his band, The House Katz, he unleashes a fiery guitar sound and a voice to match playing a variety of electric and acoustic blues all over the Gulf Coast.
Food available for purchase from Alligator Mike. Hailing from LaRose, LA, Alligator Mike has been cooking over a pot, usually a very large black pot, for decades on his family’s alligator farm, and for over 15 years at T Bois Blues Festival, and more recently at 100 Men Hall. Alligator Mike’s Louisiana cooking includes redfish courtbouillon all the way to his very special Cajun gumbo. Louisiana cooking is a diverse cuisine influenced by many cultures, including French, Spanish, African and Native American.
The historical 100 Men Hall, a famed stop on the Chitlin' Circuit, a Must See Venue by Rolling Stone Magazine, winner of the 2024 MS Governor’s Award for Excellence for Arts in the Community, a rare site on the MS Blues Trail, is maintained and preserved under a 501c3 nonprofit organization (Hundred Members Debating Benevolent Association, est. 1894). The Hall is supported by its membership organization 100 WOMEN DBA, as well as from the generosity of sponsors and donors. The 100 Men Hall is the only endowed African American landmark in Mississippi.
