Guitar Shorty November 6, 2008

Credited with influencing both Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Guy, bluesman Guitar Shorty has been electrifying audiences for five decades with his supercharged live shows and his incendiary recordings, beginning in 1957 with a Willie Dixon-produced single on the Cobra label.

Between his blistering, rocked-out guitar work and his fierce, soulful vocals, the power of his music is unmatched, and the perceptive and meaningful lyrics unique among modern bluesmen. Blues Foundation has awarded Guitar Shorty the 2007 Blues Music Award Winner - Contemporary Blues Album for "We the People." Tickets are $15.00. 9pm.
