Buddy Guy Tickets Information

Buddy Guys Legends
Internationally acclaimed, a Grammy winner and now an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Buddy Guy has firmly established a blues legacy that places him squarely in the company of his heroes who came before.

Born in 1936 George "Buddy" Guy was raised on a plantation near the small town of Lettsworth, located some 140 miles northwest of New Orleans. His earliest years were marked by the typical characteristics of the Jim Crow South: separate seating on public buses, whites-only drinking fountains, and restaurants, etc.

But it didn’t make Guy bitter instead it made him more determined to do something and be somebody and that was further strengthened by his father who used to point to examples like heavyweight champion Joe Louis and revolutionary major leaguer Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball's long-standing color line in 1947 when Buddy was 11 years old. If you possess the talent, Sam Guy told his children, you couldn't be denied in this world, regardless of your skin color.

Working as a custodian at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, and earning the princely sum of $28 per week in late 1955, the 19-year-old Guy’s heart was already into the guitar and the blues he heard on the radio. At that point Guy had never even been out of Louisiana.

In 1957 after taking a risk and arriving in Chicago his world started changing. By the decade's end, Guy was staking out new creative territory, cutting albums like 1967's I Left My Blues in San Francisco, his last effort for Chess, and 1968's A Man and the Blues for Vanguard. In the process, Guy, the purveyor of a stinging, attacking electric guitar style and wild, impassioned vocals, was capturing the minds of a growing number of rock musicians. The were no fewer than 20 releases under Guy's name during the 1970s and '80s, the best of them collaborations with the late harp master Junior Wells. In the nineties Guy’s first three albums for Silvertone—the 1991 comeback smash Damn Right, I've Got the Blues (reissued in 2005), 1993's Feels Like Rain and 1994's Slippin' In—all were bid commercial hits and earned Grammy Awards. The early 21st century saw his subsequent releases like the eminently satisfying Live: The Real Deal (1996), the daring Heavy Love (1998) and 2001's Sweet Tea.

Presently, keeping his music looking forward Guy’s legend continues with Bring ‘Em In, which finds this 69 year old trading licks with the likes of Carlos Santana ("I Put a Spell On You") and John Mayer (on the Otis Redding-penned "I've Got Dreams to Remember"). A harmony acoustic guitar—the first ever that he owned—from Guy’s teen-age days proudly sits on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
