For those of you in the Chicago Area who haven’t seen BUDDY GUY, you owe it to yourself to see the living blues guitar legend. He’s 73, has charisma in spades, and rocks harder in one night than you will in your entire life. Integrated over time. I saw him last year for the first time and he instantly earned a highly coveted place on my “Things you must do if you live in Chicago” ™ list. He really is _that_ good.
The Friday and Saturday shows of his annual January residency are already sold out, but going on a less crowded day will get you a better view and breathing room anyways. Tickets are $40, standing room, unless you eat there and squat a table.
