B.B. KING & BUDDY GUY Return To The Fox 2/16

Blues legends, B.B. King and Buddy Guy, will return to the fabulous Fox Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2009 for an extraordinary evening of music.

For more than half a century, the "King of the Blues" and his guitar "Lucille" have thrilled audiences with countless hits. His innovative style has influenced generations of blues and rock guitarists, and helped give the blues its special place in the American musical tradition. Classic tunes, including "Payin' The Cost To Be The Boss," "The Thrill Is Gone," "How Blue Can You Get," "Everyday I Have The Blues" and "Why I Sing The Blues" have made B.B. King a living legend.

Five-time Grammy Award winner Buddy Guy has left an indelible mark in the development of blues music with his wild electric guitar playing and impassioned vocals in the early 60s. A legend in his own right, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee has been a chief guitar influence to rock titans like Hendrix, Clapton and Vaughan. Guy's hits include Damn Right, I've Got The Blues (1991), Feels Like Rain (1993), and Slippin' In (1994). His most recent studio album is Skin Deep (2008).
