Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials

Wednesday, August 9, 2023 | Doors Open: 5:30PM, Show Starts: 7PM

In Chicago, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent, world-renowned Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for over 30 years. The band’s big sound, fueled by Lil’ Ed’s gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues string bending, along with his rough-edged, soulful vocals, is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets. The group took home the Living Blues Award for Best Live Performer in 2011, 2012 and 2013. They won the prestigious Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year in both 2007 and 2009. Their infectious energy, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razor’s edge by their many years together.
