January is a Good Month for the Blues in Chicago
Chicago is home to a few great blues clubs. We have also been the home of some great blues legends. Fortunately, we are also the home of some blues legends who are still alive and well and making great music. Koko Taylor is one, for example. The second is the incomporable Buddy Guy.
If you have not seen Buddy Guy play, well, you are really missing something. Other great guitar players stand in awe of Buddy. Jimi Hendrix was rumored to have been in awe of Buddy and considered Buddy a major influence. Chicago happens to by Buddy Guy’s home and he happens to have a great club here, called Buddy Guy’s Legends.
Chicago has some very impressive blues-related events throughout the year. The Chicago Blues Festival, which kind of officially opens the summer season around here, is now recognized as one of the best blues festivals you are ever likely to find anywhere in the country, perhaps the world. But what is there to do during these very cold, currently snowy, winter months?
Well, if you click on that link above, and visit Buddy Guy’s Legends website, you will see that the master himself is going to be setting up shop here in Chicago throughout January. The man with the winning smile and blazing guitar fingers is going to be playing 19 shows throughout the month of January. That’s right, folks, 19 shows!
I know Chicago is cold here this time of year. It is rarely, during this time of year, on anyone’s vacation list. However, with something like that going on, you may just want to make an exception.
