Read full details
Buddy Guy brings a lifetime of Chicago blues to Minneapolis for a concert marking his 90th year. A guitarist and singer-songwriter who came up playing behind Muddy Waters on Chess Records sessions in the 1960s, Guy influenced generations of players, from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer.
His career has moved from sharecropping roots in Louisiana to nine Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Arts and a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Guy has stepped back from full-time touring, yet he continues to perform, holding court at his own Chicago club, Buddy Guy's Legends, and occasionally getting onstage to sing and play. This Minneapolis appearance is part of that ongoing late-career presence.
