Blues legend Buddy Guy is making his way back to Ruth Eckerd Hall where he last performed Tampa Bay in 2019. The 85-year-old vocalist and guitarist has won seven Grammys, and living legends like this are sadly few and far between these days.
Another blues staple, Kenny Wayne Shepherd brings a full band with him—though hopefully he leaves his Confederate flag regalia at home (he seems to have let it go, after it cost him a Blues Music Award nomination this year). Masks are only required if you’re not vaxxed, but don’t you want to do all that you can to protect Buddy Guy?
Buddy Guy w/ Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band. Friday, Oct. 29, 8 p.m. $53.25-$150. Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater. rutheckerdhall.com
