A late addition to the calendar, but a big one - the legendary Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson with the Magic Rockers is coming to the Muse on Saturday night, October 6th, from 8:00 to 11:00 pm. Luther is one of the best blues musicians to emerge from Chicago’s music scene, where he started playing in the 50’s. Johnson played and sang with Muddy Waters’ band from 1973-79, when his front and center solos for that band got the world’s attention. This is the real thing folks. Don’t miss it. Admission only $15.
