Our next concert is on Thursday, June 9th featuring Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials!

Mixing smoking slide guitar boogies and raw-boned Chicago shuffles with the deepest slow-burners, Lil’ Ed and his blistering Blues Imperials — bassist James “Pookie” Young, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton — deliver the blues, from gloriously riotous and rollicking to intensely emotional and moving. With their latest album, Jump Start, Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials continue to bring their seriously inspired and wildly fun Chicago blues to “Ed Heads” new and old, wherever they may be.

One of Conan O'Brien's favorite bands, Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials bring "Raw-boned, old-fashioned Chicago blues to the masses and will blow the walls down " Guitar Player Magazine.
