See Grammy® Award-winners Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang team up for an amazing co-headlining concert!
Ranked 30th in Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” Chicago Bluesman Buddy Guy is a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to that city’s halcyon days of electric blues. A major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Guy has received six Grammy® Awards. Other awards include 28 Blues Music Awards (formerly W.C. Handy Awards), the Billboard magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts.
Blues singer-guitarist Jonny Lang, the Grammy®-winning former child prodigy topped the Billboard New Artist chart with his first album at age 15 and was called “one of the most important artists to watch in the new millennium” by Time Magazine. Today, 31-year-old Lang has eight critically acclaimed albums under his belt, including the Grammy® Award-winning Turn Around and his latest, Jonny Lang Live at the Ryman.
