Lurrie Bell – Grammy Nominated Chicago Blues Legend

February 1, 2020 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$25 – $30

“If there is a Chicago Blues child who perhaps epitomizes the blues life, it’s Lurrie Bell…the premier guitarist in the Windy City.”
— BOSTON BLUES NEWS

“If I had to choose a current musician that exemplifies what Chicago Blues is all about the name that comes to mind first is Lurrie Bell.”
— BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE

“The Chicago blues are alive and well, and Lurrie Bell is the pulse.”
— AMERICAN BLUES SCENE

Born in 1958, the son of famed blues harmonica player Carey Bell, Lurrie Bell picked up his father’s guitar at age of five and taught himself to play. He was clearly gifted. In addition, he grew up with many of the Chicago blues legends around him. Eddie Taylor, Big Walter Horton, Eddie C. Campbell, Eddie Clearwater, Lovie Lee, Sunnyland Slim, Jimmy Dawkins and many more were frequent visitors to his house. They all helped to shape and school him in the blues, but none as much as his father’s long-time employer Muddy Waters.
