Get ready for a night devoted to the blue chord progressions and blue notes that make up this music genre while visiting Buddy Guy’s Legends, on Wabash Avenue in the South Loop, for a full evening of food, drink and blues.
The blues, contrary to its name, is a joyful, celebratory music, and the true blues experience occurs when there is a call and response from the instruments and the vocals, with an additional call and response between the audience and the band.
