THE JANUARY 2019 BUDDY SHOWS
“The Blues Is Alive And Well”Tickets go on sale Saturday Nov 3rd at 10AM CT at BuddyGuy.com

In June of this year, Buddy Guy released his eighteenth solo LP ‘The Blues Is Alive And Well’, debuting at #1 on the Billboard blues chart. Special guests on the new record include Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, and James Bay.

As Guy pushes forward through an astounding decades-long career, he’s careful not to forget those who inspired him along the way saying, “I went to sleep yesterday and woke up and all the great blues players are no longer with us. Muddy, Wolf, B.B.—they’re all gone. Before they passed away, when they were in their prime, we used to have a drink and a laugh and talk about how when one of us is gone, the others have to keep it going.”

Live At The Lake!
Legends is also proud to announce our new partnership with Navy Pier. Join us in the Miller Lite Beer Garden every Wednesday night for live blues from the best bands in town, followed by fireworks. Headliners include Quinn Sullivan, Wayne Baker Brooks, Guy King, Corey Dennison, the NuBlu Band, and more.

Big names, up close and personal. The next great performers in the Intimate Concert Series are Booker T Jones, Walter Trout and Charlie Musselwhite.

June 13: Booker Tbecame famous with his group the MGs for recording iconic tunes like Green Onions at Stax Records. This show is going to be crazy because Buddy Guy is playing the Chicago Blues Fest across the street earlier the same night, and has already announced plans to come back to Legends afterwards to catch the show; he’s expected to bring roughly half the city with him. If you want to be in the room with two Grammy-winning legends instead of on the sidwalk with your ear on the window, you shouldbuy your tickets now.

Aug 14: Walter Trout is a former member of Canned Heat and John Mayall’s Blues Breakers who broke out on his own in 1989 and has been traveling the world playing the blues ever since. A liver transplant brought him back from death’s door, and now he’s showing off his newly recovered vitality with the same wild energy that made him famous to begin with.

Aug 22: Charlie Musselwhite is a harmonica legend who knew and played with many of the most iconic figures in Chicago blues: Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin’ Wolf, and John Lee hooker just to name a few. He’s been wailing on the harp ever since, with hit albums from 1966’s Stand Back! to 2014’s Grammy winning collaboration with Ben Harper, Get up!
