In the afternoon, outside Hideaway Café, the St. Petersburg listening room hosts a sidewalk show with Lounge Cat. That night, however, the venue goes inside for a limited capacity gig headlined by blues guitar legend Luther Johnson. The 81-year-old Chicagoan also known as “Guitar Junior” was a touring guitarist with both Magic Sam and Muddy Waters (a period of Junior’s life when he also shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers and Johnny Winter). He even appeared in “Blues Brothers” playing backup for John Lee Hooker.

As a special treat, Kid Royal will record a new live album during his opening set.

Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson & the Magic Rockers w/Kid Royal. Sat. Oct. 31, 8 p.m. $50. Hideaway Café, St. Petersburg. hideawaycafe.biz
