John Primer & The Real Deal Blues Band

John Primer & The Real Deal Blues Band concert – Friday, Feb. 14th, 7pm – Indoor Auditorium at Joliet Area Historical Museum.

From the John Primer website:

“As the bandleader and lead guitarist for Jr. Wells & Sammy Lawhorn, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Magic Slim & The Teardrops, John Primer’s virtuosity as a blues musician was forged by legends.

John started playing for tips on Maxwell Street, the birthplace of Chicago blues and soon became the house bandleader at the infamous Theresa’s Lounge for seven years alongside Sammy Lawhorn, Junior Wells, James Cotton and many others.

Having played or recorded with a who’s who of blues greats including Gary Clark Jr., Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, and Buddy Guy to name a few, John Primer’s personal accolades, including Lifetime Achievement Awards, reflect his countless contributions to the history of the blues.

There are very few blues fans, critics or musicians who will deny the fact that John Primer is the real deal.”
