We always talk about the rich music history of Lubbock. Stubb's BBQ was ground zero for more years than I know. When you delve into what Mr. Stubblefield did in, and for, this community, you start to uncover a treasure chest. Many of the greatest musicians from the 20th century rolled through. They were hanging out eating BBQ in little ole' Dirt City. To this day, we hang out and eat BBQ and listen to young musicians working to be the next hit act out of LBK. The old BBQ joint may be long gone, but the legacy Stubb left in the community is forever.
We owe a lot to this man ... Christopher B. "Stubb" Stubblefield.
A little piece of Texas music history. đź¤

Long before the lights came up on our stage in Austin, Stubb was already bringing people together through good food, good music and even better company.
Some legends just find each other. ❤️
