Bubba Mac Band

Media Title

A passionate musician, Bubba decided to form a blues band: Bubba Mac Blues Band. To help showcase the band, be bought a restaurant in Somers Point, N.J., and named it the Bubba Mack Shack in early 2000. The band has released four albums: Roadkill Cafe - -2000 (Bubba Mac Productions); Just Life 2001 -- (Treasure Records); Happy Blues 2003 (Bubba Mac Productions); and Bubba Mac Attack--2005 (Bubba Mac Productions).

As a musician, Bubba has traveled to many of the hallowed blues halls around the world. This influence is palpable in the flavor of the Shack's food, entertainment lineup and décor. Bubba and Mac's goal was to create a restaurant that was New Orleans meets South Jersey, upscale but down-home. The original Shack was built for musicians around the five bars and three stages to enhance the quality of music and entertainment/ ambiance. Hundreds of nationally recorded blues acts including James Cotton, Levon Helm and the Barnburners, Bob Margolin's Rolling Fork Review, and the Radiators among others, rocked the Shack day and night. A TV show was also created in early 2002 called "Live at the Bubba Mac Shack" to showcase the shack's unique blend of auditory and culinary delights. The show featured clips of acts performing live as well as cooking segments. It went off the air in 2005 and will be revived on WMCN-TV/Atlantic City as Live with Bubba Mac on the Road, to celebrate the festival's arrival. These days, Bubba can be found greeting customers at the new Bubba Mack Shack on the Ocean City, N.J. boardwalk.
