LineUp

Buddy Guy, born in Lettsworth, LA, is an iconic blues guitarist known for blending classic Chicago blues with rock & roll flair. His journey began in 1959, and his hit "First Time I Met the Blues" became a staple. Influenced by T-Bone Walker and B.B. King, Guy became a legend with his performances and collaborations with greats like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. Guy's album "Damn Right, I've Got the Blues" was a commercial breakthrough. He’s received numerous accolades, including Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, eight Grammys, and a Kennedy Center Honor.
Grammy-winning jazz guitarist-vocalist George Benson, born in Pittsburgh, is known for soulful vocals and fluid guitar work. Collaborating with Robert Farnon in 1989, they created "Dreams Do Come True," featuring classics like "Autumn Leaves" and reimagined hits like the Beatles' "Yesterday." Benson's hit "This Masquerade" won Record of the Year in 1976. Rediscovered after 35 years, the album is set for release. Benson boasts 10 Grammy Awards and was named a 2009 Jazz Master.
