The Night Blues will welcome at Salle des Etoiles: Buddy Guy, Manu Lanvin and Johnny Gallagher for an exceptional concert !
Saturday 27 October 2018, at 8.30 pm, Salle des Etoiles
Buddy Guy
Without him, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaughan might have chosen to play the violin or the ukulele rather than the electric guitar. At 82, Buddy Guy continues to influence any guitarist who ventures one day on the twelve bars of the blues.
Pioneer of West Chicago sound and guitar hero before the hour, George Buddy Guy, born July 30, 1936 in Lettsworth (Louisiana), engraved the tables of the law of blues guitar. His touch, velocity and spectacular play influenced the greatest servants of the six strings. But far from falling asleep on the multiple laurels that have earned him five decades of loyal service to the cause of electric blues, Buddy Guy continues to record essential albums.
Like the aptly named Born To Play Guitar, released in 2015 and immediately ranked No. 1 in sales in its category. And while even his most worthy heirs, like Eric Clapton, are thinking of withdrawing from the scene, Buddy continues to spin without giving the impression of ever having to stop.
His guitar playing is still flamboyant and his voice gives no sign of wear. To believe that it really passed this famous pact with the Devil to the mythical "crossroads"! We are therefore looking forward to seeing him again in October, more electric than ever, on the Salle des Etoiles stage for another legendary concert.

Johnny Gallagher and the Boxtie Band

His concerts are a successful mixture of original compositions and personal versions of songs by Pink Floyd, The Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Peter Green and Jimmie Rodgers. We discover again his inimitable and expressive voice on the stage of the Salle des Etoiles, as the opening act to Deep Purple and Pretenders, on the occasion of the release of his new album “THE PUMPHOUSE Suite” on 30th March 2017.
