SUMMARY:Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials
LOCATION:Shank Hall
DESCRIPTION:From working at Chicagos Red Carpet Car Wash to appearing on na
 tional television\, from gigging at the smallest ghetto blues bars to perf
 orming on the biggest international concert stages\, master bluesman Lil E
 d Williams has come a long way. Mixing smoking slide guitar boogies and ra
 w-boned Chicago shuffles with the deepest slow-burners\, Lil Ed and his bl
 istering Blues Imperials -- bassist James Pookie Young\, guitarist Mike Ga
 rrett and drummer Kelly Littleton -- deliver the blues\, from gloriously r
 iotous and rollicking to intensely emotional and moving. Not since the hey
 day of Hound Dog Taylor Ed s edge. As much a family as a band\, Lil Ed\, P
 ookie\, Mike and Kelly have outlasted sports stars and presidents\, musica
 l fads and fashion trends. And together\, they continue to make blues hist
 ory with each and every performance and new recording. The bands wildly en
 ergetic and seriously soulful new CD Jump Start is jam-packed with Lil Eds
  incendiary slide playing and rough\, passionate singing\, as the ragged-b
 ut-right Blues Imperials cook like mad alongside him. Produced by Williams
  and Alligator president Bruce Iglauer\, it is a tour-de-force of untamed 
 slide guitar\, rock solid rhythms\, heartrending ballads and authentic dee
 p blues vocals. Williams wrote or co-wrote 13 of the albums 14 songs\, ran
 ging from the non-stop boogie blast of If You Were Mine to the heart-on-hi
 s-sleeve honesty of Life Is A Journey to the bouncing and jazzy Jump Right
  In to the swaggering\, autobiographical Musical Mechanical Electrical Man
 . The album overflows with the bands full throttle drive and is fueled by 
 Lil Eds love of both serious blues and good time fun. Jump Start reveals a
  band firing on all cylinders and ready to spread the genuine houserockin 
 fever to their biggest audience yet. Its all blues\, really\, says Lil Ed.
  Some of it will make you dance\, some will ease your soul Through my musi
 c\, I want people to feel what I feel.\n\nBoletos: https://www.ticketweb.c
