At age 86, Buddy Guy is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee as well as a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He’s a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues.
Buddy has received 8 GRAMMY Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, 38 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artist achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its’ “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”.
In honor of Buddy Guy’s 85th birthday, in July of 2021 PBS American Masters released ‘Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase The Blues Away’. The new documentary follows his rise from a childhood spent picking cotton in Louisiana to becoming one of the most influential guitar players of all time. The documentary features new interviews with Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr, and more.
The Damn Right Farewell tour will have Buddy performing hits from throughout his career, in addition to his new #1 album. Amid his core classics you’ll hear new fan favorites from the project including “Gunsmoke Blues” ft. Jason Isbell, the forever timely and spellbinding “We Go Back” with Mavis Staples, and a harmonious collaboration with James Taylor on “Follow the Money”.
