Buddy Guy’s Legends
There are lots of blues clubs to choose from (this is Chicago afterall), but Buddy Guy’s Legends is a legend itself, so if you’re looking for a place to enjoy some great live blues music, Buddy Guy’s is the place to go.
Buddy Guy’s plays hosts to artists with various styles of blues music, from local artists to international stars (Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, and Stevie Ray Vaughan to name a few). I was there with friends a few weeks ago and heard Sharon Lewis, who was spectacular. I went with another group this weekend and saw Nick Moss and the Fliptops, another great band, but with a completely different style. You can’t go wrong!
So, if you haven’t been to Buddy Guy’s Legends - get there! And get there soon, because the popular Chicago blues club will be closing at its present location in the next couple of months. Although it will be reopening at a yet-to-be determined location and date, everyone should really experience the legend of Buddy Guy’s in it’s current historic location.
TIP: Buddy Guy’s does not take reservations, so I recommend going early and enjoying a yummy cajun dinner before the concert (that way you’re sure to have a table when the music starts). Check out the menu on the club’s website (below). Also, take some time to look around - the walls are a colorful museum of blues history.
