Well... if we want to get all philosophical, then we could say that all music is experimental, but... I would rather not. When regarding the traditional definition of experimental/avant-garde music, blues cannot be considered as such. However, does that mean blues cannot venture into the realm of the avant-garde? Certainly not... just look at Captain Beefheart or the music from Keiji Haino's album, Black Blues (2004).
