Buddy Guy with Special Guest Stillwell Rodenberg & Co. November 8, 2009

Chicago Blues Legend Buddy Guy will play at The Centre on Sunday, November 8 at 7:30pm.

George 'Buddy' Guy is a five-time Grammy Award-winning American blues and rock guitarist and singer. Any discussion of Buddy Guy invariably involves a recitation of his colossal musical resume and hard-earned accolades. He's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, and Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side sound, and a living link to that city's halcyon days of electric blues.

Buddy has received five Grammy Awards, 23 W.C. Handy Blues Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts.

He is the father of female rapper Shawnna and also has a son, Michael. He is the older brother of blues guitarist Phil Guy.

Guy is known for his showmanship, playing his guitar with drumsticks, or strolling into the audience while playing solos. He was ranked thirtieth in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time'
