Blues icon Buddy Guy is joined by Jonny Lang, one of the most dynamic young voices in blues today, for a must-see performance at Interlochen Center for the Arts that crosses generations.
The recipient of the 2015 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Buddy Guy’s incredible career spans over 50 years with just as many albums released. Guy, described as “the best guitar player alive” and one of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” comes together with blues, gospel and rock artist Jonny Lang, who first found incredible success 16 years ago, at the age of 16, with the release of his major label debut album Lie To Me. Fame does not seem to have impacted him from being the same country farm boy from Fargo, N.D., who got his start in the local clubs of Minneapolis.
If you’ve got the blues (or just love them), don’t miss Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang in a performance that is equally technical and soulful!
