Bugs Henderson has been a Dallas-area Blues music institution since moving here from Tyler, TX. He came to Dallas in order to join the scene of a bar called The Cellar in the early 1970s. From there he moved on to playing theaters and arenas, opening and playing with guitar icons including B.B. King, Freddie King, Ted Nugent, and Eric Clapton. Many of the best blues guitarists like Clapton and King would go see Bugs play as they viewed him as one of the best.
