Buddy Guy Live: A Blues Legend Returns

At 87, Buddy Guy is an American treasure. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s golden era of electric blues.

Guy has received eight Grammy Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement Grammy, 38 Blues Music Awards — the most ever awarded to a single artist — the Billboard Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone ranked him No. 23 on its list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” He was recently featured in the 2025 box office smash hit, Sinners.
