Buddy Guy Grand Finale

July 29/31

Buddy Guy’s 80th birthday is this Saturday (July 30) and Crossroads wraps up its month-long celebration with more music from Guy in hour one of the show (including music he did in Junior Wells’ band, as part of Buddy and the Juniors, and from several of his own albums) – and then in hour two of the show, it’s a Buddy Guy special exploring his life and music.

Plus new music from Tinsley Ellis, Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne, and Big Jon Atkinson with Bob Corritore, more Blues Blast Music Awards nominees, and classics from Howlin’ Wolf, T Bone Walker and B.B. King.

Chris Heim produces and hosts Global Village, a nationally and internationally distributed world music show; the nightly jazz show Night Train, and Crossroads, KMUW’s twice-weekly blues and R&B show. Chris is also a critic and freelance writer whose work has appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Utne, Global Rhythm, Dirty Linen, and Option, among others.
