The iconic, GRAMMY®-winning guitarist and songwriter is on a North American tour in celebration of the blues! His sixth solo album, ‘Orgy of the Damned,’ is out now!

And based on the smiles coming from Daltrey himself all night at Ravinia, it seems as if the fans continue to warm his heart, too.

The free concert, a double bill with Ronnie Baker Brooks and Shemekia Copeland, provided a full slate of priceless memories and magical moments.

Childers is a captivating live performer, capable of pulling his fans closer to him with each song rather than getting lost in the expanse of the larger arena.   

The symmetry between the two was on full display at Ravinia, an outdoor music venue north of Chicago. Plant and Krauss proved that while many male-female duos have come before them, few if any have done it better.

Along with Phillip-Michael Scales, Keb’ Mo’ treated the Father’s Day crowd to a pleasing mix of jazz, blues, folk, pop, and a little rock ‘n’ roll thrown in as well.

Linwood may be an out-of-the-way place but between the promotion by Dublin Corners and the duo’s reputation the turnout was impressive.

The Teskey Brothers have returned to Chicago months after selling out the smaller Riviera Theatre. They may need to return even sooner as the crowds just keep getting bigger, this time selling out the larger Salt Shed.

The amazingly talented and internationally acclaimed Sue Foley graced the Evanston Space stage!

Performances from the likes of Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues, Al Stewart, the Zombies, Little River Band, he Alan Parsons Live Project, Starship with Mickey Thomas, and more!
